The net force F accelerates a mass m with an acceleration a what acceleration results if a net force 2F acts on mass 4m?

F = m a
a = F/m
The acceleration of (2F) acting on (4m) is ( 2F/4m ) = (2/4) (F/m) = (2/4) a = 1/2 a

What happens to a hockey puck when a net force of 5 N acts on it?
It accelerates
When an unbalanced force acts on an object what changes depending on the size and direction of the force?
Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass. In other words, other things (i.e., the mass) being equal, the acceleration is proportional to the force.
What does the newton second law of motion depend on?
"The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the impressed force and acts in the direction in which the force acts" Acceleration "a" varies directly proportional to "F" the impressed force. F = m x a a = F/m
What is A force produces an acceleration of 0.5 m s2 on a body of mass 1 kg What is the acceleration if the same force acts on a body of mass 2 kg?
The force on the 1kg body is 0.5 Newton. The acceleration of the 2kg mass with a force of 0.5 Newton will be 0.25m/s^2
What object do not accelerate unless force act on them and how similar is this to the first law of motion?
Nothing accelerates unless/until force acts on it.This is exactly Newton's first law of motion.
What happens to an object when a net force acts upon it?
It accelerates.
When a nonzero net force acts on an object the force?
changes the motion of the object
What changes when an unbalanced force acts upon an object?
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". When the entire group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, the object accelerates, in the direction of the vector sum of the forces.
If a non zero net force acts on an object what does the object do?
-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
What happens to a hickey punk when a net force of 5 N acts on it?
it accelerates
When happens to a hockey puck when net force 5 N acts on it?
It accelerates
What happens to a hockey puck when a net force of 5 N acts on it?
It accelerates
What is the relationship between the acceleration of a particle the force that acts on the particle and the mass of the particle?
Acceleration = force/mass
What happens if an unbalanced force is applied to an object?
When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the weight of the object decreases.
What affects whether a resultant force accelerates or decelerates an object?
Deceleration is merely acceleration in a direction opposite to the original motion. If something isnt moving it cannot be decelerated but if it is moving and the resultant force acts in the opposite direction to motion it will decelerate the object.
A force that acts on an object does only when the object moves?
A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.
What affects the acceleration?
According to Newton's Second Law, a = F/m. That means that acceleration is caused by a force; that a greater force will result in greater acceleration; and that a larger mass (of the object on which the force acts) will result in less acceleration.
