If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?

∙ 15y agoAs written by Nick Strobel (see related links), mass is a measure of the object's resistance to acceleration. An increase in resistance to acceleration due to an increase in the mass of an object results in a decrease in the acceleration as long as the outside force remains constant.

∙ 14y agoWe know the equation F=ma where; m is the mass and a is the acceleration and F is the amount of force applied. If the same amount of force is applied i.e if force is kept constant
we get:
F=ma
m=F/a
And since force is constant we can write m is directly proportional to 1/a i.e m is inversely proportional to a. Therefore, if the amount of force applied is same then as the mass increases the acceleration decreases.

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
What happens to an object's acceleration as the size of the force acting on the object increases?
F=m.a , a=F/m; acceleration is directly proportional with force. acceleration increase while force increase.
What are two ways an object may accelerate?
-Reduce the object's mass. -Increase the force applied to the object
What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.
The more of what object has the more force it takes to move it?
You increase the object's acceleration.
What two ways can you increase the acceleration of an object?
U can increase and decrease it
What happens to the acceleration of an object's if the force on the object increase?
its acceleration will be increased
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
What are two to increase the acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
What happens to the acceleration of an object if you increase the force of an object?
From Newton's Second Law of Motion, I know that Fnet=manet. anet is the net acceleration. From this equation, I know that Fnet is proportional to anet. THis means that if I decrease the net force, I decrease the net acceleration. If I increase the net force, I increase the net acceleration. If your Fnet equation is Fnet=Fapp-Ff, then increasing the applied force would also increase the net acceleration. Therefore, more applied fore, more 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 are the two ways to increase acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
If the force acting upon an object is increased what happens to the object's acceleration?
In that case, the acceleration will also increase.
How does net force affect acceleration?
If net force acting on a mass decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases. But if the mass of an object were to decrease while a constant net force acted on it, its acceleration would INcrease. If the net force on the object AND the object's mass both decrease, the object's acceleration could either increase OR decrease. We'd need the actual numbers in order to calculate how it would turn out.
A force that acts on an object does only when the object moves?
A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.
The rate of change in the speed of an object is called?
Acceleration, it can be both increase and decrease in speed. .
What happens to an object's acceleration as the size of the force acting on the object increases?
F=m.a , a=F/m; acceleration is directly proportional with force. acceleration increase while force increase.
