There is no easy way - nor is there a difficult way. Even if you assume that

  • there is no friction
  • that the force is applied in the direction of motion
  • the rope or bar by which the force is applied has no mass
  • and is inelastic,
you cannot derive tension without knowledge about the mass.

If there is a force acting on a string, the tension will be precisely this force. In other words, not much to calculate.

How is mass force and acceleration related?

Mathematically. F=MA Force=Mass (times) Acceleration I would say force would not be directly related to acceleration, I would say it relates directly to mass. But, of course, for a body to accelerate, it must be acted upon by a force. Physics is fun, isn't it? Tell me when it makes sense.


An empty wagon rolls easy but a loaded wagon is more difficult to roll Using your knowledge of friction force and weight explain why this is so?

Force = mass x acceleration Assuming we want the same acceleration such as 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds. The loaded wagon has more mass. Hence, it requires more force to move it.


How do you find acceleration using mass and force?

You use Newton's second law of motion. Force=mass x acceleration [F=ma], where force is measured in Newtons (N), mass in kilograms (kg) and acceleration in metres per second squared (m/s2)


Why does a feather fall at the same rate as a ball when both are dropped from the same height and vacuum?

The feather and the ball both experience a gravitational force towards the centre of the earth which scales in proportion to their mass (the force is greater on the ball than on the feather).The force manifests itself as an acceleration which scales in inverse proportion to the mass (the same force would make the feather accelerate faster than the ball).So the proportionalities cancel:in tabular form-relative mass for same force for same gravitating bodyFeather : low : easy acceleration : low coupling to gravityBall : high : sluggish acceleration : higher coupling to gravityin algebraic form -acceleration = force/mass = (const. x mass) / massif the acceleration is the same, so will the kinematics and they will "fall at the same rate".Note that there are actually two kinds of mass in this - inertial (that resists acceleration) and gravitational (that couples to a gravitational field). The fact that these are the same is "deep" and leads to Einstein's Genral Theory of Relativity.


Why is there an upward force on objects in water?

Force = mass X acceleration = mass X change in velocity If there was no force pointing upward, the only force acting on the object would be gravity, and it points down. From the equations above it should be easy to see that if the only force acting on an object was pointing downward, the object would move downward, and if the force was gravity, it would fall downwards through water similar to how it would in air.

The force that opposes the motion of an object?

Gravity. The inertia of an object will keep it moving until an opposing force stops it.Friction.Called inertia. To accelerate a body the force is mass times acceleration. No force = no acceleration. People say " the force is opposed by the massacceleration"

Do all forces cause objects to accelerate give example?

Not all forces can cause an acceleration. In a perfect world, newton's law of F = M*A holds true, but in our world, it is easy to have a force without a resulting acceleration. If you were to poke a 100lb weight, would it move? probably not, because friction would cancel out the force on the weight. since you receive the third law reaction force, any acceleration that would hypothetically happen to the Earth is also canceled out

What is maximum acceleration rate?

the acceleration is equal to energy that release by the friction that came be electic that travel form somewhere.It proves that maximum acceleration rate.The easy explainationof that is Energy and Velocity are equal to maximum of acceleration


What types of change in motion causes acceleration?

Motion is the change of position over time. The rate of change of position is called or speed. Speed combined with its direction is called velocity. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. So, motion in which the speed or direction are changing is accelerated motion. The question uses the word cause, which may be confusing. Technically when a force is applied to a mass, there is acceleration. When there is acceleration the velocity changes. If the object was in motion to begin with, it would speed up or slow down or change direction. If the object was at rest, the force would have caused an increase in speed from zero, so it would start moving. Therefore if you think of a causal relationship, it would be more proper to say force causes acceleration, which IS a change in motion. For an example, an easy one is your bicycle. If you pedal, you are applying force. That force cause the bicycle's speed to increase ... acceleration ... and you are in motion. If you apply more force, you will go faster. If you apply the brakes, you will slow down which is also acceleration (because speed is changing). There is only one way to have motion without acceleration and that is to travel at a constant velocity ... constant speed in a straight line. In practice, there is no motion without acceleration for any period of time, because there is always some minute change in speed or direction.
