For acceleration, there must be a net force on an object. The force can come from anywhere. Internal forces - between parts of a system - will not cause an acceleration of the system as a whole, i.e., of its center of mass; such forces come in pairs, and - considering the system as a whole - they cancel one another.

When does acceleraion occur?

Acceleration occurs when there is unbalanced force applied to an object.


What condition are necessary for acceleration to occur?

you need both a mass (m) and a force (F) applied to it to get acceleration (a); F = ma


Can motion occur when there are no forces?

yeah motion occurs. force is directly propotional to acceleration not motion.


How acceleration occur in a straight pattern?

It just does, in the absence of other forces ( ie air and rolling resistance ), that is to say under ideal conditions, a constant force on a fixed mass will produce uniform acceleration (velocity change) acceleration ( (m/s)/s ) = force (newtons) / mass (kg)


An object will have constant acceleration if?

well, something has to be pushed by a constantly growing force. Constant acceleration would occur for example if you drop something in a vacuum. Dropping something in normal circumstances is a nearly constant acceleration too.


Why does beating occur in a spring-mass system when a driving force is added?

because laplace transformations occur


How much acceleration will occur if a 10 newton force is applied to a 2012 gram object?

Force=mass x acc. So the accel. will be 10/2.012 which is app. 5metres per sec squared.


Acceleration occur when velocity changes?

Only the acceleration brings a change in velocity.


Which of Newton's Laws does the act of the bat hitting the ball illustrate?

When a bat hits a ball the velocity and direction change radically. A force has to be exerted on the ball by the bat for acceleration to occur. This demonstrates Newton's second law f is equal to mass times acceleration.


What happens to acceleration if both mass and force remian constant?

Since acceleration = force / mass, it will fall as mass increases.Progressive loss of mass is much more likely to occur in real life - for instance with a rocket, which burns fuel as it goes. In this case, acceleration will increase.


What do you call the motion of an object with a constant acceleration?

Free fall. Airbus has built aircrafts that may dive with an acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 to simulate zero gravity. satellites are technically in a constant free fall. A world where no friction would occur would lead to constant acceleration as long as the force acting on the object stays the same.


How is mental health and emotional health related?

They are processed by the same system, the brain and both occur outside the realm of physiology.
