Assisting Acceleration (aᵉᶠᶠ), also known as, effective Acceleration, refers to the acceleration that arises in a system when a negative effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ, mᵉᶠᶠ) is present. In traditional physics, mass resists acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion. However, when negative effective mass is introduced, it counteracts this resistance, effectively "assisting" the original acceleration of the system. As the magnitude of the negative effective mass increases (i.e., as Mᵉᶠᶠ becomes more negative), the system experiences an increase in kinetic energy, leading to an enhanced or assisted acceleration. This acceleration, denoted as aᵉᶠᶠ, occurs alongside the original acceleration and can be seen as a direct consequence of the negative effective mass's influence, making the object move more freely with less resistance and thus requiring less force to achieve the same or greater acceleration.
