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.
If the force acting on a body is doubled than the acceleration produced is?
also doubled as long as mass is not changed: F = m a force and acceleration are directly proportional, with mass being what is called the proportionality constant. If mass is not changed, as you can see from Newton's second law to preserve the equality if force increases, the acceleration must increase.
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 happens to the force when you increase the acceleration of the mass?
The force also increases.
One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?
False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.
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 increases as force increases?
F=ma, or force equals the product of mass and acceleration. Assuming that the mass of the object does not change, then acceleration increases as force increases.
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.
If the force acting on a body is doubled than the acceleration produced is?
also doubled as long as mass is not changed: F = m a force and acceleration are directly proportional, with mass being what is called the proportionality constant. If mass is not changed, as you can see from Newton's second law to preserve the equality if force increases, the acceleration must increase.

Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
Does mass need to be changed to newtons to find the acceleration?
Mass can't be changed to newtons. The newton is a unit of force, not mass.In order to find the acceleration, you need to know the mass and the force.Then, the acceleration is (force) divided by (mass).
If you increase the force on an object what happens to the acceleration?
If you increase the force on an object acceleration increases . As F = m*a, where F = Force , m = mass of the object & a = acceleration
How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?
If acceleration is kept constant but you vary the mass, the force will vary in direct proportion to the mass. If the mass increases, the force will also increase, and if the mass decreases the force will also decrease. Newton's 2nd Law, illustrated by the equation F=ma, illustrates this.
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.
What happens to an objects acceleration if you increase the force on the object?
If you increase the force on an object acceleration increases . As F = m*a, where F = Force , m = mass of the object & a = acceleration
What happens to the force when you increase the acceleration of the mass?
The force also increases.

False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.
