Calculate Inertia Force





Formula

The formula to calculate the Inertia Force (IF) is:

\[ \text{IF} = \text{IM} \times \frac{\text{V}}{\text{T}} \]

What is an Inertia Force?

An inertia force is a force acting on an object that causes its velocity to change. Inertia is a measure of the resistance of an object to change in velocity. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the inertia, and therefore, the greater the force required to change its velocity.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Inertia Force:

\[ \text{IF} = 10 \times \frac{20}{4} = 10 \times 5 = 50 \, \text{N} \]

This demonstrates that with an inertial mass of 10 kg, a change in velocity of 20 m/s, and a change in time of 4 seconds, the inertia force would be 50 N.
