F=MA Formula

Front

What does the formula F=MA represent?

Back

The 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 mass using the F=MA formula?

Back

Mass can be calculated by rearranging the formula to M = F/A, where F is the force applied and A is the acceleration.

Front

If a force of 250 N is applied to an object that accelerates at 5 m/s², what is the mass of the object?

Back

The mass of the object is 50 kg (250 N ÷ 5 m/s²).

Front

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

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

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

Back

Acceleration can be calculated by rearranging the formula to A = F/M, where F is the force applied and M is the mass of the object.

Front

If a 5 kg block is pulled with a net force of 32 N, what is its acceleration?

Back

The acceleration of the block is 6.4 m/s² (32 N ÷ 5 kg).

Front

What is the force acting on a 1000 kg elevator falling freely at 9.8 m/s²?

Back

The force acting on the elevator is 9800 N (1000 kg x 9.8 m/s²).

Front

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

Back

The relationship is direct; as mass increases, for a constant force, acceleration decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is the acceleration of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 N?

Back

The acceleration is 10 m/s² (500 N ÷ 50 kg).

Front

If the mass of a car is 1000 kg, how much force is required to accelerate it at 3 m/s²?

Back

The required force is 3000 N (1000 kg x 3 m/s²).
