∙ 9y agoBased on what information? A commonly used formula is force = mass x acceleration.
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.
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.
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
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.
The formula for calculating force in physics is: Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a). This formula is used to determine the force required to move an object with a certain mass at a specific acceleration.
The formula used to calculate force is: Force = mass x acceleration. This formula describes how a force is generated when an object with mass is accelerated.
The formula used to calculate the mass of an object when force and acceleration are known is given by Newton's second law of motion: mass = force / acceleration. This formula states that the mass of an object is equal to the force acting on it divided by the acceleration produced.
Mass and acceleration are used to measure the magnitude of a force because force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion, F = m*a. By using mass to quantify the inertia of an object and acceleration to quantify the rate of change in its velocity, we can determine the strength of the force acting on the object.
mass = volume x density mass = force / acceleration mass = work / (acceleration x distance)
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Force----------------------------------------------The above is correct Force = mass * accelerationbut note that momentum = mass * velocity
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.)
Yes. F = ma.
The equation used to represent Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, where F is the force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. This equation states that the force acting on an object is proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration produced.
Force can be used to calculate mass if you also have the acceleration. Units of Force are called Newtown, N. Mass uses grams,kilograms,etc.
