The physics
Newton's second law is the working heart of classical mechanics: the net force acting on an object equals its mass multiplied by its acceleration.
Force to accelerate a 1,000 kg lift at 1.5 m/s²
Answer: force = 1,500 N (equivalent weight force 152.957 kgf).
What we know
- Mass: 1000 kg
- Acceleration: 1.5 m/s²
Step by step
- Given
- m = 1000 kg, a = 1.5 m/s²
- Formula
- F = m × a
- Substitute
- F = 1000 × 1.5
- Result
- F = 1,500 N
All results
| Force | 1,500 N |
|---|---|
| Equivalent weight force | 152.957 kgf |
