F=MA Formula

Front

What does the F=MA formula represent in physics?

Back

The F=MA formula represents Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (M) of the object multiplied by its acceleration (A).

Front

How do you calculate force using the F=MA formula?

Back

To calculate force, use the formula F = M x A, where F is force, M is mass, and A is acceleration.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of force in the SI system is the Newton (N).

Front

If an object has a mass of 10 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s², what is the force acting on it?

Back

The force is 20 N, calculated using F = M x A (10 kg x 2 m/s²).

Front

What is the acceleration of an object if a force of 50 N is applied to a mass of 10 kg?

Back

The acceleration is 5 m/s², calculated using A = F/M (50 N / 10 kg).

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the mass is doubled while the force remains constant?

Back

The acceleration is halved, as acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant (A = F/M).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in the F=MA formula?

Back

Mass and acceleration are inversely related; as mass increases, acceleration decreases for a constant force.

Front

How do you find the mass of an object if you know the force applied and the acceleration?

Back

Use the formula M = F/A, where M is mass, F is force, and A is acceleration.

Front

What is the force acting on a 1000 kg object in free fall?

Back

The force is 9800 N, calculated using F = M x A (1000 kg x 9.8 m/s²).

Front

If a 50 kg skater accelerates at 5 m/s², what force is applied?

Back

The force applied is 250 N, calculated using F = M x A (50 kg x 5 m/s²).
