What force means
Force is a push or pull that changes an object’s motion. It depends on both the object’s mass and its acceleration.
Newton’s second law
Newton’s second law states that net force equals mass multiplied by acceleration: F = ma.
Common applications
Force calculations are used in vehicle motion, structural engineering, machinery, sports, robotics, and physics experiments.
Frequently asked questions
What formula does this calculator use?
The calculator uses Newton’s second law: F = ma. It can rearrange the same formula to calculate mass or acceleration.
What is the SI unit of force?
The SI unit of force is the newton, written N. One newton equals one kilogram metre per second squared.
Can acceleration be negative?
Yes. A negative value usually indicates acceleration in the direction opposite to the chosen positive direction.
What is net force?
Net force is the combined result of all forces acting on an object, including forces acting in opposite directions.
