Calculate Mass and Acceleration Using Newton's Second Law

Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. It can be expressed with the formula: F = m * a.

Acceleration (a) can be calculated using the formula: a = F/m, where F is the net force applied to the object and m is its mass.

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

0.5 m/s².

Mass (m) can be calculated using the formula: m = F/a, where F is the net force and a is the acceleration.

60 N.

0.4 m/s².

4 N (calculated using F = m * a).

An object with a mass of 0 kg does not exist; mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.

As mass increases, for a constant force, acceleration decreases. Conversely, for a constant mass, an increase in force results in an increase in acceleration.
