The force needed to accelerate an object at some rate is proportional to the object's mass.

The object may be moved by as small a force as you want. It just won't accelerate at a very high rate.

Would you expect to require the most force?

The object with the most mass will require the most force to move. This is because force is directly proportional to an object's mass: the greater the mass, the more force is needed to move it.


How does the force required to move an object change as mass increases?

The force required to move an object increases as mass increases. This relationship is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is proportional to mass and acceleration (F = ma). Therefore, the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to move it.


Is accelaration directly proportional or inversely proportional to the force?

Directly. That's why you can't move a car by blowing on it.


A force needed to blank an object?

A force is needed to move an object.


What best describes how the mass of an object affects the amount of force needed to move the object?

The different amount of force is needed because some objects have more mass and weight than others for example if you have a ball of Styrofoam and a baseball the baseball has a higher density and mass so it takes more force to move the baseball than the Styrofoam.


Why does the input force have to be greater than the force needed to move the bale of hay?

The input force must be greater than the force needed to move the bale of hay so that there is enough force to overcome friction and other resistive forces acting on the bale. If the input force is less than the force needed to move the bale, the bale will not accelerate or move, or move very slowly.


What is needed to move a resistance?

How does the force required to move an object change depending on the objects mass?

It takes no force to 'move' an object. There are trillions of objects that are moving right now with no forces acting on them. It only takes force to 'accelerate' an object ... to change its motion, by changing its speed or the direction of its motion. force=mass*acceleration As mass increases, so does the force needed to change the object's motion.


What occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of force?

The object accelerates in the direction of the force, following Newton's second law of motion. The acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.


What is the natural force that causes an object move toward the center of Earth?

Gravity is the natural force that causes an object to move toward the center of Earth. This force is proportional to the mass of the object and the mass of Earth, and inversely proportional to the distance between the object and the Earth's center.


What is the answer to 160j of work was needed in order to move an object 8m across a floor what was the force that was needed to do this job?

The force needed to move the object can be calculated using the formula: Force = Work / Distance. Substitute the given values: Force = 160J / 8m = 20N. Therefore, the force needed to move the object was 20 Newtons.


What factors effect the amount of force needed to move an object?

The main of force needed tio move an object is the objects mass, f= ma.
