Physics
Force Calculator (Newton's Second Law)
Calculate the net force on an object from its mass and acceleration using Newton’s Second Law, F = m·a. The cornerstone of classical mechanics, used everywhere from sizing motors to estimating brake forces to predicting how hard a ball will hit the ground.

Physics
Gravitational Potential Energy Calculator
Calculate gravitational potential energy GPE = mgh stored in an object at a given height above a reference level. Useful for energy-conservation problems, hydroelectric and roller-coaster design, and any analysis where elevation translates into stored energy.
