So Where is it Used in Motorsports

F = MA is used throughout motorsports!

It is very important to be able to calculate force when designing vehicles
and all the parts and materials for them.



This means the cars and bikes are designed to be very fast but also safe!

F = MA is also a consideration for the design of the barriers around the track
so drivers and spectators are safe in case of a crash!

Force is measured in Newtons (N)

1 Newton is about the weight of an apple

Mass is measured in Kilograms (kg)

Acceleration is measured in metres per second per second (m/s/s)
