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
When the force on the object is constant, the object's acceleration is
inversely proportional to its mass.
Notice that when it comes to gravitation, the force isn't constant ...
it's proportional to the object's mass.
Put these two factoids together, and out falls the staggering implication
that under the influence of gravitation, the object's acceleration is constant,
regardless of what its mass may be. Light objects and heavy objects fall with
the same acceleration. Is that cool or what !
F=ma rearrange to a=F/m therefore a is inversely proportional to mass
no but force is directly proportional to mass : acceleration
it is directly proportional
Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass, a = F/m.
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
Increase the force on the object. The force must be in the same direction as the acceleration.
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it. So if the force is reduced by half, the acceleration will also be halved. Of course, it will still be accelerating in the same direction as before, but not as quickly.
By definition, if two things are proportional to one and other, they are connected by a multiplying constant. If F = m + a you would simple say F is a bigger than m and it would also require that force, mass and acceleration all shared the same dimensions and units. Clearly mass is a scalar and force and acceleration are vectors, so that is not the case. Also, if they shared the same dimensions, they would effectively be the same thing so F = m + a would be the same as F(total) = F(1) + F(2) which wouldn't tell us very much about the laws of physics at all. Also, you don't say force is proportional to mass times acceleration (it's EQUAL to mass times acceleration). It's either force is proportional to mass (in which case acceleration is the factor of proportionality) or force is proportional to acceleration (in which case it is mass).
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
Yes, that is correct.
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
Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m
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
Depends what u mean by that. If it is free falling it would obviously be accelerating at 9.8m/s^2. If there is an incline then it depends. I believe acceleration is directly proportional to velocity though.
Force= mass x acceleration. Therefore: Force is directly proportional to acceleration.
Yes, force is directly proportional to mass. Remember that Force = Mass X Acceleration.
According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass. a = F/m This law is most often used relating force to mass and acceleration, in which the net force is directly proportional to a body's mass and acceleration, F = ma.
