Is one way to increase the force used to pull a wagon to decrease the mass in the wagon?

Of course not. But decreasing the mass of the wagon may
increase the effectiveness of the force used to pull it.
Look at it this way:
Whether I'm trying to pull a truck or a little red wagon, makes no difference
in the maximum amount of force I'm able to apply. But my maximum can move
the little red wagon a lot faster and a lot farther than it can move the truck.

∙ 12y agoThe force technically remains the same (whether you're pulling 100 lbs or 10 lbs doesn't change the force), however, with a decrease in mass in the wagon you will be able to go faster.

How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?
If acceleration is kept constant but you vary the mass, the force will vary in direct proportion to the mass. If the mass increases, the force will also increase, and if the mass decreases the force will also decrease. Newton's 2nd Law, illustrated by the equation F=ma, illustrates this.
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.
Does the mass increase or decrease when anhydrous compounds decompose?
when anhydrous compounds decompose their mass will decrease
What is the effect of mass on torque Wind turbine blades are lengthy to increase torque and to decrease speed. How can i decrease speed using mass Or can I increase torque by increasing MASS?
Mass has no effect on torque. Torque is the product of distance (from the axis), force, and an angular function. Mass can, however, make the turbine more stable - it will take longer to react to variations in wind. More mass will increase the MOMENT OF INERTIA (rotational inertia).
Acceleleration is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to mass what does this mean?
It means that if you increase the force, acceleration will increase. However, if you increase the mass of the object you are accelerating, the acceleration will decrease. It all stems from the basic equation F=ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Rearranging for a gives a=F/m. This means that as m is the denominator, if it doubles and F remains constant, a will halve.
One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?
False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.
What does mass have to do with force?
force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). F=m*a. if mass is made subject, m=F/a. hence mass is directly proportional to force. therefore an increase( or decrease) in force means an increase ( or decrease) in force also.
How do you increase the frequency in an oscillating mass-spring system?
You either Decrease mass or increase spring force.
What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
What are two to increase the acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
What are two ways to increase the accerleration of an object?
-- Decrease its mass. -- Increase the net force acting on it.
Do you increase or decrease in mass?
you increase or decrease mass by taking the mass out
As the mass of an object incresse the ability to accelerate it using the same amount of force increase or decrease?
It decrease.
What are the two ways to increase acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?
If acceleration is kept constant but you vary the mass, the force will vary in direct proportion to the mass. If the mass increases, the force will also increase, and if the mass decreases the force will also decrease. Newton's 2nd Law, illustrated by the equation F=ma, illustrates this.
What would be the effect on the gravitational force if you increase mass and increase the distance between the masses?
If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.
What are two things you could do to decrease the force of gravity?
Reduce the total mass or increase the distance between them.
