Today, Gigabytes and Terabytes are the most common terms being used to describe the size of a hard drive. But what are they? This is where it gets quite confusing because there are at least three accepted definitions of each term.
A force acting on an object can cause it to accelerate. The relationship between force, mass and acceleration is given by the equation. force = mass Ã acceleration. The stopping distance of a car depends on two factors-thinking distance and braking distance. Under normal driving conditions, the thinking and braking distance depend on the speed of the car.
where F is the applied force in newton s, m is the mass of the object or particle in kilograms, and a is the resulting acceleration in meters per second squared. The mass of an object can be calculated if the force and the acceleration are known. Mass is not the same thing as weight. Weight has meaning only when an object having a specific mass is placed in an acceleration field, such as the gravitational field of the earth.
