Calculating Force

Understanding the Relationship between Force, Mass, and Acceleration

Force (F), Mass (M), and Acceleration (A) are related by the equation: F = M × A

This means:

Example: If a car with a mass of 1500 kg accelerates at 2 m/s², the force would be:

F = M × A = 1500 kg × 2 m/s² = 3000 N (Newtons)

Instructions:

1. Click on the variable (F, M, or A) in the triangle that you want to solve for.

2. Input your known values in the boxes below.

3. Click "Calculate" to see the result!
