Force equals mass times acceleration, F=ma (m=mass, a=acceleration)

in his original theory, force equals change in inertia over time, F=P/dt, (where p=mv or inertia, t=time, d=delta, change in)

hence, substituting, F=mv/dt, but as v=meters per second, and acceleration is meters per second square, you get F=ma

Why do we use Newtons?

Newtons is a unit of measuring force and is not to be confused with measuring mass. Another unit of measuring force is pounds. Newtons are often used as they are the SI unit of force.


What is the mass of an object if the force of gravity acting on its mass is 1033 Newtons?

If we have a force acting on a body and we know what that force is, and we also know that the force is gravity, we can solve because we know the force gravity exerts on a mass. If we take the total force acting on the body and divide it by the force of gravity per one unit of mass, we can find the number of units of mass that cause gravity to act on the object. We have 1033 Newtons of force acting on the object. Gravity pulls down with a force of 9.8 Newtons on 1 kilogram of mass. Our 1033 Newtons divided by 9.8 Newtons per kilogram = 105.41 kilograms


Which is the greatest force 10pounds 10 kilograms 10 newtons 50newtons?

A force of 9.8 N is the force exerted on a 1 kilogram mass at rest by the force of Earth's gravity at sea level. So 10 N is the force of about a 1.02 kg mass (approximately 2.25 pounds force)This is a scalar measurement.


Newtons Second Law of Motion relates force and acceleration?

Mass


What can be measured in newtons?

The push or pull exerted on one object by another is simply a force and this is measured in Newtons. Using Newtons second law: Force = mass * acceleration, we can see that one Newton is the force required to move a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.

What is the force created on a mass off 50kg?

The force created on a mass of 50kg is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this force is approximately 490 Newtons (50kg * 9.81 m/s^2).


Frorce of gravity expressed in newtons?

The force of gravity on an object is typically given by the formula F = mg, where F is the force in Newtons, m is the mass of the object in kilograms, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth). So, the force of gravity is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
