Question

For an object of mass m and acceleration a, which equation can be used to
calculate the applied force on the object?

Answer 1

Answer:

F = ma

Explanation:

If mass = m

Acceleration = a

Force = F

Force can be calculated by the product of mass and acceleration.

That is F = ma

This equation is gotten from newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force which takes place in the direction of force applied

Answer 2

Answer:

Force = mass x acceleration i.e F = ma

Explanation:

The force equation is in accordance with Newton's second law of motion, the law states that the acceleration of an object depends on two variables which are

i)  The force acting upon the object.

ii) The mass of the object.

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on the object, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

This means that if the force acting on the object increases, the acceleration of the object will also increase and if the mass of the object increases, the acceleration of the object will decrease.

a ∝ F  ------ eqn 1

a ∝ $\frac{1}{m}$ ------ eqn 2

where a = acceleration

F = Force

m = mass

Applied force is the interaction of an object which can be described as an active agent with another object which causes the second object to either accelerate, experience a change in velocity, a change in direction or bring to a halt.

Mass is the amount of matter or substance that makes up an object.

Acceleration is a measure of the change in velocity of an object with respect to time.

combining eqn 1 and eqn 2

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

i.e

F = ma  ------ eqn 3

eqn 3 is the force equation

A force equation depicts the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. An object of mass m will accelerate given that force F is applied to it.
