Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?

No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.


How force affects mass and acceleration?

force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body


When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?

directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)


Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?

Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.


Is acceleration directly proportional to mass?

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. Net force is equal to the mass times acceleration, taking this into consideration we can clearly see that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.By Armah Ishmael Ryesa


Is acceleration directly proportional to force or it is inversely proportional to force?

Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m


What does newtons 2nd law state?

Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m


What is newtons second of motion?

Acceleration is proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass


The amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass?

Yes, that is correct.


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).


According to Newton's Second Law of Motion acceleration is proportional to force and inversely proportional to?

mass


When force is proportional to mass and acceleration why do you say force is proportional to mass multiplied by acceleration why not mass plus acceleration and so on?

By definition, if two things are proportional to one and other, they are connected by a multiplying constant. If F = m + a you would simple say F is a bigger than m and it would also require that force, mass and acceleration all shared the same dimensions and units. Clearly mass is a scalar and force and acceleration are vectors, so that is not the case. Also, if they shared the same dimensions, they would effectively be the same thing so F = m + a would be the same as F(total) = F(1) + F(2) which wouldn't tell us very much about the laws of physics at all. Also, you don't say force is proportional to mass times acceleration (it's EQUAL to mass times acceleration). It's either force is proportional to mass (in which case acceleration is the factor of proportionality) or force is proportional to acceleration (in which case it is mass).
