How do you solve for force?
F=mAThis is newton's first law: The force of an object is equal to the mass of that object times the acceleration.
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.
The force required to slide an object is equal to?
The force required to accelerate an object depends on the object's mass. Newton's second law states that Force = Mass * Acceleration. Re-written to solve for acceleration, this becomes Acceleration = Force/Mass. Basically, this means that the more mass an object has, the more force is required to accelerate it. Also, the faster you want to accelerate the object, the more force you will need.
What is the net force that acts on a 10N falling object when it encounters 4N of air resistance?
The net force is the difference between the 10N falling object and the 4N of air resistance So you solve 10N-4N is 6N
What will happened to the acceleration of an object if you double both the mass and the unbalanced force acting on it?
If both the mass and the net force on an object are doubled, then the object's acceleration will not change.
What is the definition of applied force?
a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object
Is thrust the same as tension force?
no..normal force is exists if only if the object is contact with the surface.But tension is exists when the object is hanged with string..But the magnitude might same as we consider weight of the object.When we solve the resultant force by resolve the vertical axis,the resultant force will be the value of normal force and tension.In general they may same but in some situation they might different.
What factors directly affect how much air drag an object?
Countless factors. To solve this, I would make a force vector diagram. 4 arrows. One force would be the force of friction (this includes wind resistance, dynamic friction, etc); The applied force (any force acting on the object to move it -- air in this case); and obviously gravity (pulling downward - in towards the center of the earth); and also the natural force (the force of the ground pushing back up on the object - without it gravity would suck the object straight through the ground).
When a nonzero net force acts on an object the force?
changes the motion of the object
When the only force affecting an object is gravity that object is?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
What word best descibes a push or pull on an object?
A push or a pull on an object is a force on that object.
Will an object that has a normal force accelerate in the direction of the force?
Yes. If there is an unbalanced force on an object, the object will always accelerate in the direction of the force.
