Yes, according to Newton's Second Law, F = ma. This means that for more mass, you need more force to get the same acceleration; also that, with more force, there will be more acceleration.

This can be used to define the unit of force, as it is actually done in the SI: Force (in Newton) = (mass) (acceleration) = kg. x m / sec^2.

How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?

Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.


What is the formula to find force when mass and acceleration are known?

F = m AMultiply (mass) times (acceleration). The product is (force).


What happens to the acceleration when mass and force are doubled?

Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.
