Is there any possible way to write a code to determine the acceleration of an object ( both horizontal acceleration and vertical acceleration separately ) ?

Thats totally simple tho and should be asked in the thyme subforum. Just declare a variable _prevVel = vel (using the black mini console of your object), and then calculate the accelleration using poststep:

accell = (vel-_prevVel)/e.dt;
_prevVel = vel;

The entire accelleration would be math.vec.len(accell) while the components would be accell(0) and accell(1)

Thanks a lot, your method is much simpler and effective comparing to other methods
