It goes to the heart of Newtons laws: an object in motion will tend to stay in motion unless an outside force is applied. Force is just a measurement of how much an object 'wants' to stay in motion.
The total energy (velocity and mass) of an object measures the resistance to change an object has. Given a perfect system two cars of the same mass moving at the same speed heading towards each other will collide and stop - they cancel each other out. Force is a way of saying what energy it will take to cancel the motion of an object out. You can use a slower, heavier object to counter the motion OR a faster, lighter object to cancel the motion.
F=MV and not F=M+V is because
the acceleration is to the whole object (applied all over)
you can't add a scalar and a vector (mass is the scalar.) You can however multiply a vector by a scalar.
What else can I help you with?
Force is equal to an object's acceleration multiplied by its?
F=ma Force equals its mass times its acceleration.
Mass x acceleration equals?
The product of mass and acceleration gives the force acting on an object, according to Newton's second law of motion. This relationship is represented by the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass of the object, and a is its acceleration.
What is the formula to find force when mass and acceleration are known?
The formula to find force when mass and acceleration are known is F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
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.
Does force describe mass or acceleration?
Neither. Force causes acceleration of mass. Mathematically, Force = Mass * Acceleration.
How are mass and acceleration related?
Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration
What happens to the acceleration when mass and force are doubled?
Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.
What increases as force increases?
F=ma, or force equals the product of mass and acceleration. Assuming that the mass of the object does not change, then acceleration increases as force increases.
Is this right force equals mass divided by acceleration?
No. Force = mass x acceleration.
What is the Formula that shows force mass acceleration linked together?
Force=mass*accelerationforce equals mass times acceleration
Acceleration equals force divided by mass?
No
Force is equal to an object's acceleration multiplied by its?
F=ma Force equals its mass times its acceleration.
Mass x acceleration equals?
The product of mass and acceleration gives the force acting on an object, according to Newton's second law of motion. This relationship is represented by the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass of the object, and a is its acceleration.
What is the formula to find force when mass and acceleration are known?
The formula to find force when mass and acceleration are known is F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Force divided by mass equals?
Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Rearranging the equation, you see that force / mass = acceleration.
