Falling object acceleration is due to gravity, and is therefore a constant.
However, because there is a magnitude to this acceleration, the falling object will continue to increase in speed until it reaches its terminal velocity.
We can also observe this quantitatively.
Imagine that we have an object falling from a cliff.
At initial, the velocity is 0, acceleration is -10 m/s^2(rounded for simplicity).
After one second, we can calculate the velocity.
V= V(o) + a(t)
V = 0 +(-10)(1)
-10 m/s. The speed is just the magnitude of the velocity, or + 10 m/s.
To prove that it will increase even more in speed (even though it already from from 0 m/s speed to 10 m/s speed with negative acceleration), here's another example to further the point which expands on the problem already given.
Let's evaluate speed at 2 seconds.
V= V(o) + a(t)
V= 0 + (-10)(2)
V= -20 m/s. so speed = +20 m/s
Hopefully you can see now that while velocity is decreasing, the magnitude of it, speed, is increasing, and that a falling object always has negative acceleration of about -10m/s^2.
Velocity increases
It depends on what the acceleration is due to. In the case of a falling object the acceleration is due to gravitational pull and remains the same regardless of the mass. In the case of a projectile being propelled by an explosive and increase in mass would mean a decrease in velocity given the amount of propellant remains static.
Acceleration, it can be both increase and decrease in speed. .
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
The acceleration of an object due to gravity is 9.6 meters per second. The acceleration does not decrease or increase based on an object's mass.
U can increase and decrease it
Velocity increases
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
It depends on what the acceleration is due to. In the case of a falling object the acceleration is due to gravitational pull and remains the same regardless of the mass. In the case of a projectile being propelled by an explosive and increase in mass would mean a decrease in velocity given the amount of propellant remains static.
If net force acting on a mass decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases. But if the mass of an object were to decrease while a constant net force acted on it, its acceleration would INcrease. If the net force on the object AND the object's mass both decrease, the object's acceleration could either increase OR decrease. We'd need the actual numbers in order to calculate how it would turn out.
Acceleration, it can be both increase and decrease in speed. .
A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.
Yes, assuming the object's rate of acceleration remains positive during the time it is decreasing.
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
