Acceleration = force/mass:
14.4 / 3 = acceleration of 4.8meters per second squared.

What is the formula for calculating kilo newton?
Based on what information? A commonly used formula is force = mass x acceleration.
How do you convert from mass to distance?
With extreme difficultly as they measure different things: mass is a measure of how much something weighs*, whereas length is a measure of distance. * Actually weight is the force on a mass due to acceleration and is measured in Newtons. However, weight and mass are often, incorrectly, used interchangeably and I cannot think of a better word to describe mass. To further muddy the waters, mass and distance ARE related by energy and acceleration: energy = (mass × acceleration) × distance which can be rearranged to distance = energy ÷ (mass × acceleration) So for an object given a mass, an acceleration (on earth acceleration due to gravity is a good one) and an amount of energy put in, the distance the object is moved (by that energy [in acting as a force]) can be calculated.
Which equation can be used to solve for the mass of the object?
Thanks to Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion, one can determine the mass of an object if he or she knows both the force acting upon the object and the acceleration of the object. Newton's equation is as follows: F = ma; where "F" is the force acting upon the object, "m" is the mass of the object. and "a" is the acceleration of the object. Solving for "m", the equation can be rewritten as: m = F/m. Substitute force for "F", and acceleration for "a", and you can solve for the mass of the object.
What formula is used in Archimedes' principle?
Archimedes principle - weight of the liquid displaced by the object= buoyant force weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity =volume x density x acceleration due to gravity
What is the formula used to calculate the weight of an object if you are given the mass in kilograms?
Mass is a property of matter and is therefore a constant. Weight however can change, it is the force exerted by that mass in a gravity field. Thus in different gravity fields a constant mass will weigh differently. Weight = Mass * the acceleration of gravity.
What is the formula used in measuring force?
force = mass*acceleration
What is the most commonly used formula used to calculate mass?
mass = volume x density mass = force / acceleration mass = work / (acceleration x distance)
What formula is used to find force?
Force equals mass times acceleration.
What is the formula used to find force?
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Which to components must be used to describe a force?
mass and acceleration
One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?
False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.
Mass X Acceleration is used to calculate what?
Force----------------------------------------------The above is correct Force = mass * accelerationbut note that momentum = mass * velocity
If the mass of an object is increased with no change in the force applied what will be the difference in its acceleration?
What you are wanting to know is found in Newton's Second Law. The equation used is Acceleration = (Net force)/(Mass) or Force equals mass times acceleration; [F = m * a] So, if the mass is increased but the force remains constant, then the acceleration will decrease. (For the same force applied, larger masses experience less acceleration than smaller masses.)
A force is used to produce an acceleration on mass?
Yes. F = ma.
Is mass times acceleration a force?
Yes, according to Newton's Second Law, F = ma. This means that for more mass, you need more force to get the same acceleration; also that, with more force, there will be more acceleration. This can be used to define the unit of force, as it is actually done in the SI: Force (in Newton) = (mass) (acceleration) = kg. x m / sec^2.
What is the formula for mass used in Physics?
mass = Force ___________ This formula is from Newtons second law. acceleration
What equation is used to represent newtons second law of motion?
F = m a (Force = Mass x acceleration) Newtons Second law: A body of mass (m) subject to a net force (F) undergoes an acceleration (a) that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, i.e., F = ma. Alternatively, the total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative of linear momentum of the body. The equation can be moved around to find the mass from a known acceleration and force, or to find the acceleration from a known force and mass.
