Question
Newton's second law related Force (F) to mass (M). The equation F=Ma shows that mass is directly proportional to Force. If a student incorrectly measures the mass as too large, and uses this incorrect value to calculate Force, what effects would this have on the value of the force? Newton's second law related Force (F) to mass (M). The equation F=Ma shows that mass is directly proportional to Force. If a student incorrectly measures the mass as too large, and uses this incorrect value to calculate Force, what effects would this have on the value of the force?Explanation / Answer
F = Ma
where, F= force
M = mass
a = acceleration
if a = constant, then
F is directly proportional to the mass M, so if mass ( M ) is too large then F will be too large
Value of force, F will be too large.
