F=m.a ,
a=F/m; acceleration is directly proportional with force. acceleration increase while force increase.

What happens to the acceleration of an objects when the mass is cut in half?
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it. So if the force is reduced by half, the acceleration will also be halved. Of course, it will still be accelerating in the same direction as before, but not as quickly.
Objects that do not accelerate?
All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.
Unbalanced forces acting on an object produce a change in the objects?
We have this very important law in physics called: NET FORCE = m * a m = mass a = acceleration The NET force would create an acceleration... and that will change the velocity of the object.
If forces are unbalanced is there acceleration?
yes, since the forces are acting on just one body, the mass (m) in the equation F=ma is not changing, which would mean that the two accelerations (a) would have to be different. If the two accelerations are different then there is total acceleration in one direction (the resultant acceleration).
What causes an object's velocity to change?
A change in velocity is caused by a change in acceleration. Objects do not speed up, slow down, or change direction unless they are pushed in some way. The acceleration (a) of an object with mass (m) produced by a given force (F) may be calculated using the equation a = F/m.
The force exerted on an objectis is related in a linear fashion to the acceleration of the object?
Yes, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. this means that, as the net force acting on the object increases, the acceleration of the object increases; thus, the function forms a linear pattern.
What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?
A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.
Which two properties determine an objects acceleration?
It's mass and the net force acting on it
If the force acting upon an object is increased what happens to the object's acceleration?
In that case, the acceleration will also increase.
What two factors determine how great an objects acceleration is?
-- the object's mass -- the net force acting on it
How does upthrust depend on accleration due to gravity?
it depends on acceleration due to gravity as f=mg, when acceleration due to gravity increases the force acting also increases.when force acting increases it cancels the upward thrust(buoyant force)so the body sinks in the liquid.
What is positive accelerations?
Positive Acceleration refers to the force acting on an object whose speed increases as it moves away from its original starting position. If the velocity is increasing along with time it is called positive acceleration, and if the velocity decreases it is negative acceleration.
What happens when the force acting on a car quadruples?
Its rate of acceleration quadruples (F=ma).
What happens to the acceleration of an objects when the mass is cut in half?
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it. So if the force is reduced by half, the acceleration will also be halved. Of course, it will still be accelerating in the same direction as before, but not as quickly.
When a mechanic increases the force acting on an object what happens to the distance the object moves?
When the Force increases on an Object, the Distance it travels INCREASES, as does its Velocity.
What depends on an objects mass and velocity?
An objects acceleration depends on its mass and the force acting on it. Newton's second law, F = ma.
What occurs when the objects free falls near earths surfaces?
Constant acceleration
