Calculating Force

Front

What is Newton's second law of motion?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate force using mass and acceleration?

Back

Force can be calculated using the formula F = MA, where F is force, M is mass, and A is acceleration.

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

What is the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force?

Back

The relationship is described by Newton's second law of motion: Force equals mass times acceleration (F = MA).

Define force in terms of physical interactions.

Back

Force is defined as a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate, change direction, or change shape.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in equilibrium in terms of force?

Back

An object is in equilibrium when the net force acting on it is zero, meaning all forces are balanced.

How does increasing mass affect the force required for a given acceleration?

Back

Increasing mass requires a greater force to achieve the same acceleration, as described by F = MA.
