Velocity to Force Calculator:
Enter the values of mass of the object, m(kg), rate of change of its velocity, v(m/s) and time, t(s) to determine the value of the force, F(N).
Velocity to Force Formula:
The velocity to force formula is utilized to determine the force exerted by an object in motion when its velocity changes over a certain period.
The force, F(N) in Newton is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object, m(kg) in kilogram by the rate of change of its velocity, v(m/s) in metre per second over time, t(s) in seconds which is essentially the acceleration.
The force, F(N) = m(kg) * v(m/s) / t(s)
F(N) = force in Newton, N.
m(kg) = mass of the object in kilogram, kg.
v(m/s) = velocity in metre per second, m/s.
t(s) = time in seconds, s.
Velocity to Force Calculation:
- A car with a mass of 1500 kg accelerates from rest to 60 km/h (16.67 m/s) in 10 seconds. Calculate the force exerted by the car’s engine.
Given: m(kg) = 1500kg, v(m/s) = 16.67m/s, t(s) = 10s.
The force, F(N) = m(kg) * v(m/s) / t(s)
F(N) = 1500 * 16.67 / 10
F(N) = 2500.5N.
- Find v(m/s) for a scenario where the force exerted is 500 N, the mass of the object is 50 kg, and the time over which the force is applied is 5 seconds.
Given: m(kg) = 50kg, F(N) = 500N, t(s) = 5s.
The force, F(N) = m(kg) * v(m/s) / t(s)
v(m/s) = F(N) * t(s) / m(kg)
v(m/s) = 500 * 5 / 50
v(m/s) = 50m/s.
