I want to know how to find the time it takes for a mass to reach a velocity if a force is applied to it.

cscott has done this for you, but you won't get very far with physics if you don't first brush up on elementary algebra. I strongly recommend you learn the math first.Serj said:i'm terrible at math, can you isolate time on one side of the equation?
The time for mass to reach velocity can be calculated using the formula t = mv/F, where t is time, m is mass, v is velocity, and F is the applied force.
The unit of time used in this calculation is seconds (s).
The applied force can be determined using various methods, such as using a force sensor or measuring the force applied by a person or machine.
Yes, this calculation can be used for any type of mass and velocity, as long as the units are consistent (e.g. mass in kilograms, velocity in meters per second).
Yes, there may be other factors that can affect the time for mass to reach velocity, such as friction, air resistance, and the mass of the object being moved. These factors may need to be taken into account for a more accurate calculation.
