You would need to use the equation f=ma
In this equation, f means force, m means mass, and a means acceleration.
So dividing the force by the mass will give you a figure for acceleration.
If you know how long the object has been accelerating for, or how far, and what the initial velocity was (or whether it started off still) then you can work out the velocity from this acceleration.

How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?
You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.
How do you find velocity given only mass and speed?
You can't, because you don't have enough information. In order to find velocity, you need to be able to find the speed and the direction of motion. You have the speed, but you have no information that you can use to determine the direction in which the object is moving. Mass doesn't help.
What is the velocity of an object accelerating at 3 meter per second per second with a force of 12N?
We can only give the mass of the object. Newton's second law of motion will show that Force = mass x acceleration. therefore 12 Newtons = 4 kilogrammes x 3 m/s2 To calculate final velocity you will need to specify the time, the acceleration (and the initial velocity).
How do you find work if only mass and displacement is given?
First Find the Force Acting on Body take a = 9.8m/s F=ma Second Work Done = Force x Displacement Answer will be in Joules
Where do you find vector?
Vectors are used whenever there is a measurement in which not only the magnitude is relevant, but also the direction. Typical uses of vectors include position, velocity, acceleration, force, torque, and others.
How to find potential energy when only mass and velocity time is given?
To get the potential energy when only the mass and velocity time has been given, simply multiply mass and the velocity time given.
How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?
You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.
How do you find velocity with no acceleration or time?
Velocity can only be identified by acceleration or time, even though we can also find it using force
When velocity may change?
Velocity can only change if the object experiences an acceleration. Acceleration can only change if either the Force on the object increases, or the Mass of the object decreases.
How do you find acceleration with only mass and kinetic force?
Acceleration = force(N) / mass(kg)
Why is defining only force not enough?
If you are talking about problems involving Newton's second law of motion, F = ma, you would need to define two of the three variables of force, mass, and acceleration in order to find the third variable. If you have force and mass, you can find acceleration. If you have force and acceleration, you can find mass. If you have mass and acceleration you can find force.
Is the critical velocity equal to orbital velocity of satellite?
Balance of force of gravity by centripetal forceYes, for any given orbital radius (r) only one velocity will give stable orbit, this is called the critical velocity.Pick your orbital radius and satellite mass (m)Use Gmm / r2 to calculate gravitational force (f),then find velocity from : v = sq root ( (r * f ) / m)
How is force a force?
Due to friction velocity of a body gets reduced, reduction in velocity causes change in velocity. This change in velocity leads to production of acceleration.(Because only acceleration can produce change in velocity either its direction or its magnitiude). And only a force can cause the acceleration hence friction is a force.
Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?
The body is not zero, but the sum of all forces on it is. -- "Uniform velocity" means no acceleration. -- Acceleration is force/mass . -- If acceleration is zero, that's an indication that force must be zero.
How do you find velocity given only mass and speed?
You can't, because you don't have enough information. In order to find velocity, you need to be able to find the speed and the direction of motion. You have the speed, but you have no information that you can use to determine the direction in which the object is moving. Mass doesn't help.
The product of force and time?
The only equation that comes to mind is the one for impulse. An impulse is a force applied for a limited time. > Velocity change = (force * time) / mass > Example : A 10 kg mass is travelling at 100 m/s, a force of 100 newtons is applied for 5 seconds in the same direction as the motion, calculate the new velocity. > Velocity change = (100 * 5) / 10 = 50 metres per second Add to original velocity = 100 + 50 = 150 metres per second
How is centripetal force related to newtons 2 force?
With regard to Newton's First Law only, about all you could say is that if an objecthas no centripetal force acting on it, then it continues in constant, uniform motion.
