Relative Force Formula:

Relative force measures the magnitude of a force against a reference force, providing a dimensionless ratio that compares their strengths.

Relative force, RF is equated by dividing the product of mass, m_(kg) in kilograms and acceleration, a_(m/s2) in metres per second squared by force, F_(N) in Newtons.

Relative force, RF = m_(kg) * a_(m/s2) / F_(N)

RF = relative force(unitless).

m_(kg) = mass in kilograms, kg.

a_(m/s2) = acceleration in metres per second squared, m/s².

F_(N) = reference force in Newtons, N.

Relative Force Calculation:

1.Calculate the relative force of an object with a mass of 5 kg being accelerated at 2m/s² when compared to a reference force of 10 N.

Given: m_(kg) = 5kg, a_(m/s2) = 2m/s², F_(N) = 10N.

Relative force, RF = m_(kg) * a_(m/s2) / F_(N)

RF = 5 * 2 / 10

RF = 1.

2.Assuming you have a mass of 5 kg being accelerated at 2 m/s²and a relative force of 0.5, find the force.

Given: m_(kg) = 5kg, a_(m/s2) = 2m/s², RF = 0.5N.

Relative force, RF = m_(kg) * a_(m/s2) / F_(N)

F_(N) =  m_(kg) * a_(m/s2) / RF

F_(N) =  5 * 2 / 0.5

F_(N) = 20N.
