Force in terms of newtons is expressed in the equation f=ma, that is, force (newtons) = Mass (kilograms) x Acceleration (MS-2, meters per second per second). This refers to the force needed to exert on something to increase its speed disregarding friction as a form of negative force. To work out the force applied by something when it causes impact, Forcei = mass x speed. Say a 100kg object is travelling at 10ms-1 , it is exerting a force of 1000 newtons upon impact, now if it impacts with another person of mass of 50kg, and stops completely, that other person will travel at a speed of 20ms-1 in the same direction that the original person was travelling. hope this helped.

From Newton's second law of motion, F = ma, where m is mass in kilograms, a is acceleration in m/s2, and F is force in Newtons. (1N = kgm/s2)

How do they affect the centripetal force?

If an object moves in a circle, the centripetal acceleration can be calculated as speed squared divided by the radius. The centripetal force, of course, is calculated with Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Therefore, the centripetal force will be equal to mass x speed2 / radius.
