F = M A

A = F / M

If there are no other forces on the mass, and nothing to resist its motion,
then it accelerates in the direction of the force, at

What is the relationship between force applied to mass of an object resulting acceleration?

The relationship is given by Newton's Second Law: F=ma (force = mass x acceleration).


What is Newton's 2nd law?

Newtons second law states that the acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied to it.


How does the acceleration of a mass change if the force applied to it increases or decreases?

When the applied force increases, the acceleration increases When the applied force decreases, the acceleration decreases. This can be explained using Newton's second law of motion. F = ma


What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?

As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.


Force equals mass times what?

Work. The force times the distance over which the force is applied is equal to the work. Work is measured in joules.


How does mass affects the acceleration of an object?

When a force is applied, mass and acceleration are inversely proportional. Newton's 2nd law, F=ma, says that if an equal force is applied to a larger mass, it will accelerate proportionally more slowly.


When a 40 Newton force is applied to a mass of 2 kg. What is the acceleration?

20 meters per second


The law applied force states that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it?

There is no such law. Newton's Second Law states that: force = mass x acceleration So, more force will produce more acceleration. More mass will result in less acceleration. However, the mass of a body usually doesn't change - but you can use this law to compare the same force applied to different objects, of a different mass.


If the mass of an object is increased with no change in the force applied what will be the difference in its acceleration?

What you are wanting to know is found in Newton's Second Law. The equation used is Acceleration = (Net force)/(Mass) or Force equals mass times acceleration; [F = m * a] So, if the mass is increased but the force remains constant, then the acceleration will decrease. (For the same force applied, larger masses experience less acceleration than smaller masses.)


If net force is 2500N and mass is 7000kg what is acceleration?

Just use Newton's formula: force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass.


explain how newton’s first law can be derived from newton’s second law?

Force = mass x acceleration; acceleration = force / mass. If force is zero, then obviously, acceleration will also be zero.


Is 40 newtons a unit of acceleration?

No, it is unit of force, which is mass times acceleration
