An object of constant mass accelerates in proportion to the force applied.
Demo
In this tutorial you will learn how to calculate the force applied to an object if you are given its mass and acceleration.
The equation for this calculation is written like this:
$F = { \text m\; \text x \; \text a}$
Chilled practice question
Calculate the force applied to cannon ball which accelerates at 7m/s2 which has a mass of 5 Kg.
Frozen practice question
A rocket has a driving force of 15 N and a mass of 250 g. Calculate the acceleration of the rocket.
Science in context
Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²). Therefore, an object of constant mass accelerates in proportion to the force applied.
