It demonstrates the measurements to take to calculate velocity and acceleration. Students could be asked to predict the effect of increasing mass and increasing force on acceleration of an object.

Force and Mass The equation F = ma is one of the most important in physics. Yet we have so far not explained how to get a quantitative operational definition of either mass or force. Somehow, from ...

With that acceleration and the mass of the cart (0.566 kilogram), we get a maximum impact force of 3.73 newtons. This isn't quite the same value I obtained from the force sensor—and that's OK.

According to NASA, this law states, "Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration." ...

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, weight is the gravitational force on that mass. Weight acts at the centre of mass, which may be inside or outside the object.

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that a force on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma), so if that mass is a negative number, the force will also be negative.

So, the acceleration in the jump to hyperspace would be a g-force of 3,461 g's. That's a large enough acceleration to easily squish a human if you don't have something like an inertial damper.
