Science problem.. :/

Found this hope it helps explain easier...

Calculate Acceleration from a Force

1. 
    

   Find the mass and the force. Acceleration happens when a force acts on an object, causing it to change speeds towards the direction the force is pushing or pulling it. To know what the acceleration is, in a vacuum at least, you need to know the following

   • The strength of the force (F), measured in Newtons. One Newton will accelerate one kilogram by one meter per second².

2. The mass (m) of the object, measured in kilograms.

 

Apply the formula: F = ma, force equals mass times acceleration. You can change this formula around to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by the mass, so: a = F/m. To find the acceleration, simply divide the force by the mass of the object being accelerated.

Example: a 10 Newton force acts uniformly on a mass of 2 kilograms. Divide 10 Newtons by 2 kg to get 5 meters/second².

This seems appropriate

Coriolis effect anyone :lol:

God I hate the Coriolis effect. Very few real-world systems even take the Coriolis effect into account when designing controllers, yet I still have to do it in my Robot Controls class.

First year of high school lel ^^ im 16 .__.

Don't get bogged down in the "I know nothing about aeroplanes " mind set, reduce it to what you know. Ignore lift vectors, tire friction, skin drag etc etc etc

An object(of such and such a mass) undergoes a force(of such and such a size) what is its acceleration?

'They' even tell you what equation to use F=MA (Force =mass X acceleration) you are given mass and force so only acceleration to find

 

At 16 you should be more than able to manipulate very simple equations.

Treat an equals sign like a balance scale so whatever you do to one side you must do to the other

 

so F=MA becomes, after dividing both sides by mass

∴ F/M =M/MA

∴ F/M=1xA

∴ F/M =A or A=F/M

Nothing new....

Nothing new....

Didn't say any of it was.

 

EDIT :-

For some reason I thought it was Cyrus that asked the original question when it was Vopos.
