It isn't. It is proportional to acceleration. This follows from momentum conservation which is a deeper law than Newton's second law (which implies the same of course, but Newton's second law is strictly not true at high speeds).
To give an even deeper, and possibly incomprehensible but still true, answer: momentum conservation is a result of the requirement that the laws of nature are the same at every point in space.

∙ 8y ago, for a given mass the acceleration produced in it will be proportional to the force applied on it.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoAccording to Newton's 2nd law of motion ,acceleration is directional proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes it is.
The proportionality constant is the object's mass.
F = m A
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, it is inversely proportional. More mass means less acceleration.

How force affects mass and acceleration?
force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body
Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
Is acceleration directly proportional to force or it is inversely proportional to force?
Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m
The amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass?
Yes, that is correct.
How does the strength of a force affect the movement of an object?
Force is directly proportional to acceleration, so the greater the force, the greater the acceleration.
How force affects mass and acceleration?
force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body
Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
Describe the relationship between force and acceleration?
Force= mass x acceleration. Therefore: Force is directly proportional to acceleration.
What does newtons 2nd law state?
Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m
Is acceleration directly proportional to force or it is inversely proportional to force?
Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m
Is accelaration directly proportional to force?
yes; the force F is directly proportional to the acceleration a and mass m; F = ma and a = F/m; the higher the force the higher the acceleration for a given mass
The amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass?
Yes, that is correct.
How does the strength of a force affect the movement of an object?
Force is directly proportional to acceleration, so the greater the force, the greater the acceleration.
Is acceleration directly proportional to mass?
Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. Net force is equal to the mass times acceleration, taking this into consideration we can clearly see that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.By Armah Ishmael Ryesa
What is the mathematical relationship between force and acceleration?
Force in Newtons = mass in kilograms * acceleration ( can be gravitational acceleration )F = maThe mathematical relationship between force and acceleration is directly proportional.
