That's two equations with two unknowns. Solving one of the equations for the tension and then plugging it into the other equation gives the following expression for the acceleration.

Check definition, SI unit and formula for acceleration. Here we have also provided some questions and numerical problems based on acceleration.

He had the acceleration formula wrong. Distance grows with the square of time not as an exponential function of time, but he got the important part right, as did Einstein centuries later.

Now researchers are taking the mystery out of acceleration-induced cavitation with a new math formula that predicts when and where it may occur.

Plugging those values into the acceleration equation yields a 0-60 mph time of 1.1 seconds with rocket assist. However, that assumes the rockets will be able to run for a full 0-60 mph pull.
