The Force from Mass and Change in Velocity calculator computes force (F) based on the mass (M) and the change in velocity (ΔV) and time (ΔT).
INSTRUCTION: Choose units and enter the following:
Force (F): The calculator returns the force in Newtons. However, this can be automatically converted to other force units (e.g. pounds force) 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:
