Magnitude of Acceleration

The Magnitude of Acceleration calculator computes the acceleration of an object as a scalar value given the Euclidean x, y, z components of the acceleration vector.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (a_x) - x component of the acceleration vector in the Cartesian coordinate system's x-direction
• (a_y) - y component of the Acceleration vector in the Cartesian coordinate system's y-direction
• (a_z) - y component of the Acceleration vector in the Cartesian coordinate system's z-direction

Magnitude of Acceleration (|`veca`|):  The acceleration is returned in meters per second squared.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
