No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.

What happens to acceleration if the mass is increased and due to gravity?

The acceleration of an object due to gravity does not depend on the mass. Close to Earth's surface, this acceleration is about 9.8 meters per second per second.


What is mass multiplied by gravity?

Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity


What 3 things does gravity depend on?

The force of gravity on one object due to another object depends on the mass of each object and their separation distance.


A cart of mass 10kg pulled along a smooth platform by a force of 60N. What is the acceleration of the cart?

F=mass * acceleration 60kg m/s^2=10kg * acceleration 6m/s^2 = acceleration


A cart of a certain mass has a certain net force exerted on it and its acceleration is 4 ms2 what happens to the acceleration if the cart's mass doubled force?

force = mass x acceleration so if force doubles acceleration doubles to 8 m/s2


A brick has a greater mass than a sponge has why is the acceleration due to the gravity the same for both objects?

The acceleration due to gravity does not depend on the mass. For example, if you have two objects, one of which has 10 times the mass of another, it will be attracted with 10 times the force; however, it will also have 10 times the inertia, so the acceleration will be the same.


What is the gravity force on a student with a mass of 45kg?

As always, that's going to depend on where he is. Wherever it is, the forces of gravity between him and another nearby mass will both be (45 kg) x (acceleration of gravity in the vicinity of the other mass). If the other mass is the Earth, then the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 , and the force, which the student will call his 'weight', is (45) (9.8) = 441 newtons (99.21pounds / 7stone 1.21pounds)


What does the frequency of a pendulum depend on?

-- its length (from the pivot to the center of mass of the swinging part) -- the local acceleration of gravity in the place where the pendulum is swinging


What is the weight if the object has 166.2 mass?

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity mass has to be in kg and acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2


Is gravity the same as weight?

Gravity is not the same as weight. Using the MKS unit system, gravity is a constant of acceleration (9.8m/s2) while weight is a Force in Newtons which can be calculated using: Fweight = mass*acceleration where mass is in kilograms and acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity.


How do you find the net force of a shopping cart that you already know the acceleration?

The basic equation is: force equals mass times acceleration.


Is the acceleration due to gravity dependent on the mass of an object?

yes the less mass it has the more acceleration.
