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.
47 Chapter 3 3.1 Force, Mass, and Acceleration Figure 3.3: A spring scale is a tool for measuring force. A force of 1 pound is the same as a force of 4.48 newtons. Newton A newton is the metric unit offorce.A force of one newton actingon a mass of 1 kilogramproduces an acceleration of 1 m/sec 2.
