Well, according to Newton's Second law, force equals mass times acceleration. What this really do is relate the three quantities when you accelerate an object. It also gives the basis for defining the unit of force (in the SI, the Newton is used as a unit of force).

What is force times mass?

Force times mass is equal to the product of the force acting on an object and the mass of the object. This quantity is known as the force's effect on the object's motion, as stated by Newton's second law of motion, F = ma.


What is the product of mass and acceleration known as?

The product of mass and acceleration is known as force. It is defined as the quantity that changes the state of motion of an object.


Which quantity is not a force?

Mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is not a force.


Is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass?

No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.


Can mass also be called a force?

mass cannot be called a force.* Mass is the amount (quantity) of matter within a body. Force is the push- or pull-energy exerted on mass.


What quantity you are going to combine to the mass to become force?

acceleration


What type of force is mass?

Mass is a scalar quantity that represents the amount of matter in an object. It is not a force itself, but it does affect the gravitational force experienced by an object.


What quantity is force made up of?

The 'physical dimensions' of force are [ mass x length/time2 ].


What is the force with which gravity pulls on a quantity of matter is reffered to as?

The force with which gravity pulls on a quantity of matter is referred to as gravity.


Is mass times acceleration a force?

Yes, according to Newton's Second Law, F = ma. This means that for more mass, you need more force to get the same acceleration; also that, with more force, there will be more acceleration. This can be used to define the unit of force, as it is actually done in the SI: Force (in Newton) = (mass) (acceleration) = kg. x m / sec^2.


How is the relationship to mass and force expressed mathematically?

accelleration=force divided by mass force=mass times aceleration


Does speed times mass equal force?

No, speed times mass does not equal force. Force is calculated by mass times acceleration (F = ma), where acceleration is the change in speed over time. Speed times mass does not account for the acceleration of the object.
