The Force from Mass and Change in Velocity over Time calculator computes force based on the mass of an object and the change in velocity over time.
INSTRUCTION: Choose units and enter the following:
Force (F): The calculator returns the force in Newtons and mean acceleration in meters per seconds squared (m/s2). However, these can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
This calculator uses a form Newton's 2nd Law of motion and the formula F= M•A, where acceleration: A = ΔV/ΔT. Therefore the formula for the force from mass and change in velocity over a period of time is:
F = M⋅ΔV/ΔT
where:
