Force Formula Practice

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

If a force of 90N is applied to two carts of different masses, which will accelerate faster?

Back

The cart with the smaller mass will accelerate faster.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are combined.

Front

How do you calculate net force when two forces are acting in opposite directions?

Back

Net Force = Force1 - Force2 (in the direction of the larger force).

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

How do you calculate acceleration if you know the force and mass?

Back

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