F=MA Formula

Front

What does F=MA stand for?

Back

F=MA stands for Force equals Mass times Acceleration. It is a fundamental principle in physics that describes the relationship between the force applied to an object, its mass, and the acceleration it experiences.

Front

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

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

Back

To calculate acceleration, rearrange the formula to A = F/M, where A is acceleration, F is force, and M is mass.

Front

If a net force of 20 N is applied to a 4 kg object, what is the acceleration?

Back

A = F/M = 20 N / 4 kg = 5 m/s².

Front

What is the mass of an object if a force of 30 N results in an acceleration of 3 m/s²?

Back

M = F/A = 30 N / 3 m/s² = 10 kg.

Front

What is the acceleration of a 10 kg object pushed with a force of 50 N?

Back

A = F/M = 50 N / 10 kg = 5 m/s².

Front

What is the force required to accelerate a 15 kg object at 4 m/s²?

Back

F = M*A = 15 kg * 4 m/s² = 60 N.

Front

If an object has a mass of 25 kg and is accelerating at 2 m/s², what is the force acting on it?

Back

F = M*A = 25 kg * 2 m/s² = 50 N.

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the mass increases while the force remains constant?

Back

If the mass increases and the force remains constant, the acceleration decreases, as A = F/M.

Front

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

Back

The relationship is direct; increasing force increases acceleration, while increasing mass decreases acceleration, given a constant force.
