What is mass times acceleration?
1 answer:
Answer:
Force
Explanation:
The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.
Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/.
When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.
i.e F = m × a
where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.
The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.

Explanation:
From Newton's second law, <em>F </em>=<em> ma</em>
where <em>F</em> is the force, <em>m</em> is the mass and <em>a</em> is the acceleration.
Because the object has acceleration in two directions and the mass is constant, the force will be in two directions. The component of the forces are:
The magnitude of the resultant force is given by
