Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration.
Welcome to our Newton's Second Law of Motion Calculator, a powerful tool designed to help you understand and apply Newton's Second Law of Motion. This law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration. This calculator simplifies the process of computing force or acceleration, making physics calculations more accessible and efficient.
- Input the mass of the object (m) in kilograms.
- Input the acceleration of the object (a) in meters per second squared.
- The calculator will instantly provide you with the force (F) in newtons or acceleration depending on your input.
The formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion is expressed as
F = m × a
Suppose an object has a mass of 5 kg and experiences an acceleration of 2 m/s². Using the calculator:
- Mass (m) = 5 kg
- Acceleration (a) = 2 m/s²
- Force (F) = m × a = 5 × 2 = 10 N
Given a force of 20 N acting on an object with a mass of 4 kg, find the acceleration:
- Force (F) = 20 N
- Mass (m) = 4 kg
- Acceleration (a) = F / m = 20 / 4 = 5 m/s²
If an object experiences a force of 30 N and has an acceleration of 6 m/s², find its mass:
- Force (F) = 30 N
- Acceleration (a) = 6 m/s²
- Mass (m) = F / a = 30 / 6 = 5 kg
