    This document discusses calculating force and provides examples of using the equation force = mass x acceleration. It asks the reader to calculate the force needed to accelerate objects with different masses at various rates. The examples calculate the force needed to accelerate cars with masses of 1,000kg, 73kg and 18kg at rates of 2m/s^2, 4m/s^2 and 27m/s^2 respectively. It also asks the reader to calculate the mass of a golf ball that is accelerated at 4m/s^2 by a 1500N force over 0.2 seconds.

    Calculating Force

    Physics Equation Practice

    Introduction
    A force causes an object to undergo a specific change. Unbalanced forces cause changes in
    speed, shape or direction. Gravitational forces act between masses. Friction opposes motion.

    Remember the three-step process:


    • Write down the equation you are going to
    Example use.
    A car has a mass of 1,000 kg. What force • Substitute the quantities from the
    must the car’s engine supply to cause an
    acceleration of 2 m/s²?
    question into your formula and carry out
    • force = mass x acceleration the calculation.
    • = 1,000 x 2 • Write down the answer and don't forget
    • = 2,000 N to use the correct unit.

    A car has a mass of 73 kg. What force


    A golf club is in contact with the golf ball for 0.2s
    must the car’s engine supply to cause an
    and exerts a force of 1500 N on the golf ball. The
    acceleration of 4 m/s²? golf ball accelerates at 4m/s². What is the mass of
