"10 miles per second" is not an acceleration, it is a speed. An acceleration has two time units, or a time unit squared, for example, "9.8 meters / second2".

Is centripetal acceleration a uniform acceleration give reason?

No it is not because its direction is constantly changing. It is not a constant force. Force has direction as well as magintude and while it magnitude is constant its direction is not.


An unbalanced force of 30 N gives an object an acceleration of 5. What force would be needed to give it an acceleration of 1?

If a force of 30 N imparts an acceleration of 5 to an object and we desire only one fifth of that acceleration, then we apply only one fifth of that force. Take the 30 N and divide it by 5 and we find that 6 N is the force required to give our test object an acceleration of 1.


What force needed to give 500 newtons this acceleration 3.00 plus 3 meters per second squared?

There is some confusion here. 500 newtons IS a force. You don't "give a force an acceleration". You can accelerate an object (which has a mass), but not a force.


What is formula for acceleration given the mass and force?

Newton's second law F=ma can be rearranged to give acceleration: a=F/m


How does the mass vary with acceleration of constant force?

In theory, if you keep the force constant and vary the acceleration, the mass will vary inversely to the acceleration. In other words, if the acceleration increases, the mass will decrease; if the acceleration decreases the mass will increase. This is according to Newton's 2nd Law illustrated by the equation a=F/m. This is really a mental exercise, because this particular experiment could not actually be performed in a typical physics laboratory.


Is acceleration directly proportional to force?

It isn't. It is proportional to acceleration. This follows from momentum conservation which is a deeper law than Newton's second law (which implies the same of course, but Newton's second law is strictly not true at high speeds). To give an even deeper, and possibly incomprehensible but still true, answer: momentum conservation is a result of the requirement that the laws of nature are the same at every point in space.


Give an example of direct proportion?

The Circumference of a circle is directly proportional to the diameter. The constant of proportion is 'pi = 3.141592....'. Another one is force is directly proportional to mass. The constyant of proportion is acceleration.

Could you give an example about 'an instance where you see more mass causes less acceleration when there is a constant force?

A baseball player can throw a baseball 90 m.p.h. What if you asked him to throw a bowling ball? It doesn't go nearly as fast or as far. The acceleration is much less, not because the baseball player is suddenly applying less force, but because the object he is applying the force to has much greater mass.


What force is needed to give a 2000 kg caran acceleration of 1.5 ms3?

The force needed to give a 2000 kg car an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2 can be calculated using Newton's Second Law: F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass (2000 kg), and a is the acceleration (1.5 m/s^2). Plugging in the values, the force required is 3000 N.


How much more force is needed to give same acceleration to a 1500 kilogram car than to a 500 kilogram car?

Looking at the equation F=ma we can see that if we keep the acceleration constant the Force will vary directly to the mass. So from your problem, if we go from 500 kg to 1500 kg (3x larger) the Force will also have to be 3x larger.


What is the way to calculate newton's of force?

Newton's second law of motion states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a), as expressed by the formula F = ma. Therefore, to calculate Newtons of force, multiply the mass of an object by its acceleration.
