Net Force from Change in Velocity and Displacement

F = m \frac{v_{2}^{2} - v_{1}^{2}}{2 \cdot s}

$F = m ( v_2 ^2- v_1 ^2)/(2* s )$

(m) Mass

$(m)"Mass"$

(v_{1}) Velocity 1

$(v_1)"Velocity 1"$

(v_{2}) Velocity 2

$(v_2)"Velocity 2"$

(s) Displacement

$(s)"Displacement"$

The Net Force calculator computes the net force based on the mass of an object, its change in velocity and the distance related to the change in velocity.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(m) This is the mass of the object
(s) This is the displacement
(v2) This is the end velocity
(v1) This s the initial velocity

Net Force (F): The calculator returns the net force in newtons. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math Science

The formula for the Net Force based on change in velocity over a distance is:

$F = m \cdot \frac{v 2^{2} - v 1^{2}}{2 \cdot s}$ $F = m * (v2^2 - v1^2)/(2*s)$

where:

F is the Net Force
m is the mass of the object
s is the total displacement
v2 is the initial velocity
v1 is the final velocity
