Enter the mass and acceleration into the calculator to determine the force according to Bobbie’s formula. This calculator helps in understanding the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force.

Bobbie Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the force.

F = m * a

Variables:

  • F is the force (Newtons)
  • m is the mass (kg)
  • a is the acceleration (m/s²)

To calculate the force, multiply the mass by the acceleration.

What is Bobbie’s Formula?

Bobbie’s formula is a fundamental principle in physics that describes the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force. It is derived from Newton’s second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration. This formula is widely used in various fields of science and engineering to predict the behavior of objects under different forces.

How to Calculate Force using Bobbie’s Formula?

The following steps outline how to calculate the force using Bobbie’s formula.


  1. First, determine the mass (m) in kilograms.
  2. Next, determine the acceleration (a) in meters per second squared.
  3. Use the formula from above = F = m * a.
  4. Finally, calculate the force (F) in Newtons.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
