How do I isolate the mass?
Newton's second law
Fnet= Ft + Fg
ma= Ft + mg

How to Calculate Net Force using Newton's Second Law?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate net force using Newton's second law, start with the equation Fnet = Ft + Fg. To isolate mass, move all mass-related terms to one side and factor out m. Then, divide both sides by the coefficient multiplying m to solve for it. The correct formula for mass can be expressed as m = Ft / (a - g). Proper algebraic manipulation is essential for accurate calculations.

Welcome to PF,
Just follow the rules of algebra. A good first step is to move all terms that have the mass in them to one side of the equation. Factor out m from these terms, and then divide both sides of the equation by the stuff that multiplies m, so that m is now by itself.

So it would be like
m=Ft/a-g
Am I right?
m=Ft/a-g
Am I right?

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing ,
The core is PLA material (3d printed)
The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm
If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
