The formula for calculating force given mass and acceleration is F = m x a, where F is force in Newtons (N), m is mass in kilograms (kg), and a is acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²).
To find the mass when force and acceleration are known, rearrange the formula F = m x a to solve for m. The equation becomes m = F/a, where m is mass in kilograms (kg), F is force in Newtons (N), and a is acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²).
The unit of measurement for force when using the formula F = m x a is Newtons (N). This is the unit of measurement for force in the International System of Units (SI).
Yes, the formula F = m x a can be used for any type of force as long as the mass and acceleration are known. This formula applies to both linear and rotational motion.
To calculate acceleration when force and mass are known, rearrange the formula F = m x a to solve for a. The equation becomes a = F/m, where a is acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²), F is force in Newtons (N), and m is mass in kilograms (kg).
