calculating force

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

F = MA (Force = Mass x Acceleration)

Front

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

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

Back

Newton (N)

Front

How do you calculate the net force acting on an object?

Back

Net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in the context of force?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

Front

What is an example of a balanced force?

Back

Two people pushing a car in opposite directions with equal force.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

A person pushing a shopping cart forward while another person pulls it backward.

Front

If a 2kg object is accelerated at 3m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

6N (F = MA = 2kg x 3m/s²)

Front

What is the effect of increasing mass on force if acceleration is constant?

Back

Increasing mass will increase the force required to maintain the same acceleration.

Front

What is the effect of increasing acceleration on force if mass is constant?

Back

Increasing acceleration will increase the force required to maintain that acceleration.
