What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?

Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.


What numbers would you have to have for mass and force to keep the greatest acceleration?

To maintain acceleration, both mass and force must remain unchanged. Decreasing mass and/or increasing force will increase acceleration.


How does force affects mass and acceleration?

Increasing force increases acceleration but increasing mass decreases acceleration.


How does changing force and mass affects acceleration?

Increasing force increases acceleration but increasing mass decreases acceleration.


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.


What would happen if you increase the mass of an object?

Since the force of gravity is directly proportional to mass, then increasing the mass of an object increases the force of gravity it produces.Since accceleration = force/mass, then increasing the mass of an object means it will have a smaller acceleration for the same force (or alternatively that you need more force to produce the same acceleration).


If the force acting upon an object is increased what happens to the objects acceleration?

its acceleration will be increased


What will increase a wheelbarrow's acceleration?

the mass will increase


How can you increase acceleration in reference to mass and force?

By looking at the equation F=ma we have two ways to increase acceleration. If we keep the mass constant and increase the force applied then the acceleration of the object will increase. If we keep the force constant and use a smaller mass then the mass will experience a greater acceleration than a greater mass.


What steps do car designers take to increase the acceleration of cars they design?

A vehicles acceleration is dictated by mass, power, and traction. Reducing the first and increasing the last two will positively affect an automobiles acceleration.


Which of these would you expect to require the most force increasing acceleration of a small mass or decreasing acceleration of a small mass?

Any amount of force, no matter how large or small, will increase or decrease the speed of any mass, no matter how large or small. But if you specify how much you want the object's speed changed and how quickly you want it done, then you have specified the acceleration you want. In that case, the larger the mass is, the more force it will take to accomplish that assignment.


When acceleration increase does velocity increase?

No. Acceleration IS a change of velocity - any change. When velocity increases, there IS acceleration. The acceleration itself may be increasing, decreasing, or remain constant.
