Best Answer

Force equals mass times acceleration. To change a speed, you must apply some force (either positive or negative) to give the object some acceleration. How quickly the object's speed changes will correspond to the force given divided by the mass of the object. (ie, the acceleration)

The acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on what?

I am not sure exactly but i got something like mass & force, it is directly related to the strength of the force & inversely related to the objects mass.You are right, this is Newton's Second Law of motion.Acceleration describes change of velocity of an object with time. (It's rate of change of velocity.)


What force do you need to change speed?

The most basic equation in physics, which was formulated by Isaac Newton, is force equals mass times acceleration. So the amount of force that you need to change speed depends both on the mass of the object whose speed you are changing, and the amount of the change in speed.


Why force changes the speed of an object?

Force = Mass * Acceleration or Acceleration = Force / MassThe Mass is the mass of the object and the Acceleration is the change of speed of the object due to the Force.


A ..is required to change the speed and direction of a moving body?

Force. Change in speed and direction is change in velocity. Change is velocity is called acceleration a=F/m.. The amount of change is the amount of acceleration and that depends inversely on the mass and directly on the force.


How does the force required to move an object change depending on the objects mass?

It takes no force to 'move' an object. There are trillions of objects that are moving right now with no forces acting on them. It only takes force to 'accelerate' an object ... to change its motion, by changing its speed or the direction of its motion. force=mass*acceleration As mass increases, so does the force needed to change the object's motion.

What is the relationships between force speed mass and inertia?

Force, speed and mass are all related; Force f = cp/r = p/t=mv/t= ma.

What mean acceleration?

acceleration= force/mass and also change in direction,speed are acceleration


How much time is required to accelerate a 10 kg object from 15 meter per sec to 75 meter per sec if the net force is 1000 Newtons?

Change in speed = (acceleration) x (time)Time = change in speed/accelerationBut also,Force = (mass) x (acceleration)Acceleration = force/massSo Time = change in speed/force/massTime = (change in speed) x (mass)/force = 60 x 10/1,000 = 0.6 second


Is the force the speed?

Force is not speed. Force is what makes an object change its speed. In other words force produces acceleration, which changes speed. The exact relation is given by one of Newton's laws of motion f=ma you can rewrite this as acceleration= force / mass


What is the relationship between mass and force?

If an object is accelerating, then Force = Mass x Acceleration If it is moving at a constant speed, then Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mass x velocity squared but in this case, there is no force acting on the object. Perhaps this will help understand the relationship between force and mass. Force is anything that acts on an object, from a person pushing on something to gravity holding the Earth in orbit around the Sun, to cause it to change speed or direction. If there is no change in speed or direction, then no force is acting on it. This relate to mass in the following way. THE GREATER THE MASS, THE GREATER THE FORCE NEEDED TO MAKE THAT MASS CHANGE SPEED OR DIRECTION. Think of it like this; what takes more force to push up a hill, a car or a bicycle. The bicycle has less mass and therefore requires less force to push it.
