Force calculation involves determining the strength and direction of a force acting on an object. It is often expressed using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = m × a). Here, F represents force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration produced by the force. To calculate force, you need to know the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. For example, if a car with a mass of 1,000 kg accelerates at 2 m/s², the force exerted on the car would be 2,000 N (Newtons). This calculation helps in understanding how objects move and interact in various situations.
