How to use this Newton's Second Law Calculator š¤
There are input fields for Force \((F)\), Mass \((m)\), and Acceleration \((a)\). Enter any two inputs and click on Calculate button.
The calculator uses the \( F = m \times a \) formula, substitues given values, and calcuates the missing value(s).
A missing value is calcuated and displayed in the input field. Also, the caculation is displayed under the input section.
What is Newton's Second Law?
Newton's Second Law of Motion explains how the force acting on an object is related to its mass and acceleration. It tells us that the greater the force applied to an object, the more it will accelerate. Similarly, the more massive the object, the less it will accelerate for a given force.
Calculating Force
The force (F) acting on an object can be calculated using the formula:
\( F = m \cdot a \).
In this formula, the parameters are defined as follows:
F: The force applied to the object, measured in newtons (N).
m: The mass of the object, or how much matter it contains, measured in kilograms (kg).
a: The acceleration, or the rate at which the object's velocity is changing, measured in meters per second squared (m/sĀ²).
