How do you find acceleration using mass and force?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

This is an easy calculation. Acceleration is equal to force divided by mass. For example: What is the acceleration of an object having a mass of 50kg and a force of 425N applied to it? Acceleration = 425N/50kg = 8.5 meters per second squared.

Answer 3

If a mass is released anywhere near the earth's surface, then it's acceleration

toward the Earth is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 . That's the acceleration

due to gravity near the Earth. It doesn't change, it doesn't depend on the mass,

and it doesn't matter how much time has passed since you dropped it.

If the object's acceleration is anything different from that number, that's the effect

of air on the falling object, and has nothing to do with the mass or the time.

Answer 4

Given the mass and the force the acceleration is found from newtons famous equation

f = ma.......i.e. a = f/m

the weight is just the mass*g where g = 9.81

Answer 5

Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the force applied to an object by its mass. The formula for acceleration (a) is a = F/m, where "F" is the force in Newtons and "m" is the mass in kilograms.

Answer 6

Using the equation F = ma and changing it to m = F/a you can plug in your values for F and a and get m.

Answer 7

First, calculate the mass by dividing the weight in Newtons by g (g=9.81 m/s2 on Earth, at sealevel), giving kilograms.Acceleration equals force in Newtons divided by mass.

Answer 8

Force(N) = mass(kg) x acceleration(m/s2)

Answer 9

Mass = force/acceleration

Answer 10

Acceleration = (force) divided by (mass)
