Force and acceleration are NOT the same. If you apply a net force to an object, it causes the object to accelerate. The amount of acceleration depends on the force and the mass of the object. Force = mass x acceleration.

Is force and acceleration the same?

No


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.


Is the acceleration of an object always in the same direction of the net force?

No, the acceleration of an object is in the direction of the net force applied to it. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the same direction. If the net force is opposite to the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction.


What happens to the acceleration when mass and force are doubled?

Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.


Explain how a football and a soccerball can have different accelerations if pushed by the same force?

Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.


How the acceleration change if you change the force?

If everything else stays the same then acceleration will be proportional to the force.


How does decreasing force affect acceleration if the mass stays the same?

ANY net force will cause an acceleration. If the force is reduced, there will be less acceleration, though.


Is gravitational pull the same as gravitational acceleration?

No. "Pull" is a force, not an acceleration.


What is the relation between force and acceleration if you keep the mass the same?

It is linear. The acceleration will be proportional to the force. F = mA


How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it?

Acceleration is proportional to net force.That means that acceleration is equal to (net force) times (something).The 'something' is [ 1 / (the mass of the object being accelerated by the force) ].


What is the relationship between an object's acceleration and the direction of the force on the object?

If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.


One way to increase acceleration is by?

Increase the force on the object. The force must be in the same direction as the acceleration.
