force = mass * acceleration if force is doubled, mass needs to be doubled to keep the same acceleration example: force = 6 mass = 2 acceleration = 3 6 = 2 * 3 12 = m * 3 12/3 = m 4 = mass
By halving the mass. F = M A if F is doubled and A stays the same, in order for both sides to remain equal.. 2F = xM A x = .5
When the acceleration of an object is negative, it means the object is slowing down. This could be due to a force acting in the opposite direction of its motion or a decrease in the object's speed.
Mass doesn't change. The relative appearance of that mass from the "stationary" observer does. Thus, a bus traveling at 50Mph weighs 20,000lbs, but at 95% the speed of light it's relative mass would be over 100,000 tons to the stationary observer. However, to the person traveling within or alongside the bus at the same speed, it's mass has not changed."Changing mass" implies that the object acquires new mass as it travels faster, which it cannot. It simply "appears" to change mass.
By doubling its mass at the same time. (That would probably be a lot harder than doubling the force on it.)
Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object. If an object is travelling at an unchanging speed, its speed is neither increasing (which would make a positive acceleration) nor decreasing (which would make a negative acceleration). Thus, the acceleration is 0.
The net force that is acting on an object that is not changing speed is centripetal force that is pulling the object into a circular path. However, just to be clear on this point, while the object's "speed" is not changing, it's "velocity" certainly is, because velocity, unlike speed, has a directional component to it.
The net force acting on an object is directly proportional to its acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion. When the net force increases, the acceleration of the object increases as well. Conversely, when the net force decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases.
Not exactly. If the acceleration of the object is zero, there might be no force actingon it, but there could also be no net force acting on it. That means that there couldbe a bunch of different forces acting on it, with different strengths and directions, butthey all add up to zero.
Unbalanced forces acting on an object will cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. This acceleration could result in the object speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction depending on the magnitude and direction of the forces.
An object that is gaining speed is undergoing acceleration, which means its velocity is increasing over time in a particular direction. This could be the result of a force acting on the object, like gravity or a push. The object's acceleration can be measured by how much its speed changes in a given amount of time.
Well, first let's look at what gravity is. If we consider "gravity" as gravitational force, then force=mass x acceleration, and mass x gravity does NOT equal acceleration. Acceleration is the change of velocity, so an object could accelerate without being affected by gravity, maybe just another force, like jet engines or something. Basically, no.
Using Newton's 2nd Law, you can calculate the acceleration of the object by dividing the unbalanced force by the mass of the object. This acceleration represents how the object's velocity changes over time due to the applied force.
