Calculating Force

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is a push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

Front

What unit is force measured in?

Back

Force is measured in Newtons (N).

What is the mass of a car that accelerates at 8 m/s² with a force of 2 N?

Back

0.25 kg

Front

In a tug of war, if one team pulls with 45 N and the other with 50 N, what is the net force?

Back

5 N to the right. Coach Camacho's Class won.

Front

How much force is needed to accelerate a 3 kg skateboard at 5 m/s²?

Back

15 N

Front

What does acceleration mean in physics?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to accelerate it.
