Calculate the net force on an object when multiple forces act along a single axis. This calculator adds forces with their directions to find the resultant force and resulting acceleration.
Enter your values below
First applied force (positive = right)
Second applied force (negative = left)
Optional third force
Mass to calculate resulting acceleration
How this calculator works
Net force is the vector sum of all individual forces acting on the object (taking direction into account).
