If you know the object's mass, you can observe its motion, calculate its acceleration, and use Newton's Second Law to calculate the net force. For example, if the object doesn't move, the net force must be zero.If you know some details about the physical situation in some physics problem, you can often calculate the individual forces, and then add them up (using vector addition).

One way is to identify all the individual forces acting on the object, measure the magnitude
and direction of each one, then add them all up vectorially.
The much easier way is to measure the objects's acceleration and its mass. Then the net force
on it is in the same direction as its acceleration, and the magnitude of the force is
(the object's acceleration) x (the object's mass).

The acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on which of these?
an object's mass
What is the equation for newtons second law?
The unbalanced force acting on an object equals the object's mass times it acceleration. The equation to find force is as follows.Force=mass*accelerationf=mv
Why does the object with less mass have a larger acceleration?
Newton's Second Law says force = mass * acceleration. If you push on two objects with the same force, the object with the smaller mass will have a greater acceleration.
Stationary objects are the result of?
0 velocity 0 acceleration The forces on the object are balanced: it is in equilibrium. (The forces are balanced on any object with 0 acceleration, even if it is moving.)
How do scientists determine how old objects are by?
Archeologists determine how old an object is, by using Carbon Dating.
If you know the objects mass and acceleration you can determine the net force being exerted on the object?
True
If you know an object’s mass and acceleration you can determine the net force being exerted on the object?

True!. Sierra Ambrosio"))
True or false if you know an objects mass and acceleration you can determine the net force being exerted on the object?
False. You will know nothing at all about any force acting perpendicular to the direction of motion.
Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
The acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on which of these?
an object's mass
What two factors determine how great an objects acceleration is?
-- the object's mass -- the net force acting on it
What can be calculated by dividing the force exerted on the object by the mass of the object?
That's the object's acceleration.
What determines the mass of an objects?
The only "weigh" to determine the mass of an object is to compare it with the mass of a known object. The mass of an object is determined by force and acceleration.
When a force on an object increases how does the object acceleration change?
Changing the magnitude or direction of forces exerted on an object changes the net force (sum of all forces) exerted on the object. The net force exerted on an object is defined as mass times acceleration (F = ma), where mass, m, is constant. This means that when the net force exerted on the object changes in magnitude (or direction), its acceleration will also change in magnitude (or direction). In addition, acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, so when the magnitude (or direction) of acceleration changes, the magnitude (or direction) of velocity will also change.
What is the relationship among force and acceleration?
the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a) is the force (f) exerted on the object. f=ma
What is the ratio of the net force exerted on an object and its acceleration?
inertial mass
