Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?

No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.


When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?

directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)


How force affects mass and acceleration?

force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body


Is acceleration directly proportional to mass?

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. Net force is equal to the mass times acceleration, taking this into consideration we can clearly see that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.By Armah Ishmael Ryesa


Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?

If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.


Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?

Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.


What is newtons second of motion?

Acceleration is proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass


The amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass?

Yes, that is correct.


Why does the object with less mass have a larger acceleration?

Newton's Second Law says force = mass * acceleration. If you push on two objects with the same force, the object with the smaller mass will have a greater acceleration.


According to Newton's Second Law of Motion acceleration is proportional to force and inversely proportional to?

mass


Is acceleration directly proportional to force or it is inversely proportional to force?

Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m


What does newtons 2nd law state?

Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m
