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 calculate mass of molecules?

I would need more information, it depends on what you are given Possibility 1: force x mass = acceleration, so mass = acceleration/force Possibility 2 density = mass/volume, so mass = density x volume Possibility 3 momentum = mass x velocity, so mass = momentum/velocity


If you know an objects mass and the force acting upon it you can calculate its acellaration but can you also calculate its maximum velocity If so whats the formula for this?

V=at. If you figure out the velocity of an object accelerating at 1 g for a year, you will get a velocity that is almost the speed of light (non-relativistically of course).


What is then net force if the velocity of an object is changing?

As velocity is changing that means acceleration/deceleration is taking place. Hence, Force will not be equal to zero. However, the direction of force will depend on the direction of velocity of body. So, it's not possible to predict whether the force will be positive or negative. The net force can not be found as the dimensions of body like mass and change in velocity are not given in the question.


How acceleration and mass are related if the force is constant?

For a given mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on the mass, and is in the same direction as the net force. In other words, the larger the net force acting on an object, the greater its acceleration. When the net force is zero, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity.

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

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


How do you find force given velocity time and mass?

Not enough information. You can calculate force by Newton's Second Law, but in this case, there is no way to know how fast the velocity changes - or whether it changes at all.


How do you calculate peak force?

You calculate peak force by multiplying Mass times Velocity divided by time


Mass X Acceleration is used to calculate what?

Force----------------------------------------------The above is correct Force = mass * accelerationbut note that momentum = mass * velocity


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.


What are equations for velocity when given force and mass?

Velocity = (velocity when time=0) + (Force x time)/(mass) ===> F = MA A = F/M V = V0 + A T


The force is found by multiplying the mass of an object by the velocity at which it travels?

That is how you calculate thrust. FV=T Force, Velocity, Thrust.


How does a change in mass affects the accelaration of an object?

Force = Mass * Acceleration (F = m * a)Therefore, if the mass of an object is increased, then the force required to accelerate to a given velocity will be greater. If the mass is decreased, then the force required to accelerate that object to a given velocity will become smaller.


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

Force equals mass times acceleration.


How do you find mass if you given velocity?

That's not enough information. You need some additional information to calculate the mass.


How do you calculate mass when given joules and velocity?

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (velocity squared)Divide each sideby (velocity squared/2): Mass in kg = ( 2 x energy in joules) / (velocity in m/s) squared


How can i find velocity when given force and time?

If you have the mass, you can find the acceleration from Newton's Second Law, a=F/m where a is the acceleration, m is the mass, and F is the force. Then the velocity is given by the standard formula v=vo+at where v is the final velocity, vo the velocity at t=0, probably 0 in your case. If so v=at.
