Not enough information. One equation you can often use is Newton's Second Law:

force = mass x acceleration

Which, when solved for acceleration, gives you:

acceleration = force / mass

How can you find force when given distance and speed?

You cannot. Force is mass times acceleration. You have neither.


How do you calculate power when given speed acceleration weight and distance?

Power is equal to Force times velocity; P=Fv. You are given the 'speed', which I assume to be velocity. You also have acceleration. In order to find F, you need first to find the mass, which you can calculate from the weight, Fg, by dividing by the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8. You then have the mass. From here, multiply mass times acceleration times the velocity.


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.


Find mass given force and acceleration?

To find mass given force (F) and acceleration (a), you can use the formula F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Rearrange the formula to solve for mass, so m = F/a. Divide the force by the acceleration to calculate the mass.


How do you find acceleration due to gravity when gravitational constant is given. tell the formula?

The formula to find acceleration due to gravity (g) is g = G * M / R^2, where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the attracting body, and R is the distance between the center of mass of the attracting body and the falling object.


What will the stopping distance be for a kg car if -3000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 10ms?

To calculate stopping distance, we need to first find the deceleration of the car using the formula: force = mass x acceleration. Given that force = -3000 N and mass = kg, we can find the acceleration. Once the acceleration is known, we can use the equation of motion: final velocity^2 = initial velocity^2 + 2 x acceleration x distance to calculate the stopping distance.


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.


How can you find force when mass and velocity are given?

You cannot. Force = Mass*Acceleration or Mass*Rate of change of Velocity.


What is the formula for finding mass if you are given the force and acceleration rate?

The formula to find mass when given force (F) and acceleration (a) is: mass (m) = force (F) / acceleration (a). It is derived from Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.


How do you calculate distance traveled with force mass and time?

Distance traveled can be calculated using the formula: distance = 0.5 * acceleration * time^2, where acceleration = force / mass. First, calculate acceleration by dividing the force by the mass, then plug the acceleration value into the formula along with the time to find the distance traveled.


What do you get when you times the objects mass times the acceleration?

You get the force required to cause the given acceleration on the given mass.


What would you use to find the acceleration?

The answer depends on the context: You can find the acceleration if you know any three of : initial velocity, final velocity, time, distance travelled. You can find it if you know the mass and force. You know the two masses and the distance between them (gravitational acceleration).
