Harrop formula

Harrop Formula is a way for scientists and engineers to figure out how fast something will move when pushed by a force. The formula is F = MA, which stands for Force equals Mass times Acceleration. This means that the bigger the force pushing an object, the faster it will go. For example, if you push a toy car with your hand, it will move very slowly. If you push the same car with a bulldozer, it will go much faster! That is why it is important to know the force pushing an object when doing calculations with the Harrop Formula.
