The formula for force, for something deceleration.

AI Thread Summary
The formula for force acting on an object is F=MA, where M is mass and A is acceleration. Deceleration is defined as acceleration in the opposite direction of the initial trajectory and can be quantified as a decrease in acceleration over time. When mass remains constant and acceleration decreases, the force exerted changes at any moment. For an object moving at a constant velocity, the net force acting on it is zero, indicating no acceleration. Understanding these principles is essential for analyzing motion and forces in physics.

i'm curious, if there are one or not.

If you mean the formula for force acting on an object, it is F=MA, m being mass, and a being acceleration. And for the matter of deceleration, it is simply acceleration in the opposite direction of initial trajectory. Deceleration can be measured by the (length/time^2) decrease in the acceleration. With a constant mass, and a decreasing acceleration, the force is going to be different at any given moment.

what the formula for something moving constant?
 
If the object has no acceleration, then the net force acting upon the object should be zero. If there is a specific situation you are talking about, I could probably figure it out, if not, then I guess that's it.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Effect of mass on the acceleration of an elastic pendulum?'

I know that mass does not affect the acceleration in a simple pendulum undergoing SHM, but how does the mass on the spring that makes up the elastic pendulum affect its acceleration? Certainly, there must be a change due to the displacement from equilibrium caused by each differing mass? I am talking about finding the acceleration at a specific time on each trial with different masses and comparing them. How would they compare and why?
