What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?

Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.

What happens if you increase the mass on an object does the acceleration decrease or increase?
If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?
If you increase the force on an object what happens to the acceleration?
If you increase the force on an object acceleration increases . As F = m*a, where F = Force , m = mass of the object & a = acceleration
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.
The acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on which of these?
an object's mass
How are Force Acceleration and Mass related?
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
When the mass of an object increases how does the object's acceleration change?
As mass increases acceleration decreases.
What happens to the acceleration and force of an object when mass increases?
When mass increases, the force increases (f=ma) and the acceleration decreases (a=F/m).
What happens to acceleration of an object if the force on the object stays the same as its mass decreases?
It increases. (Standard rocket science.)
What happens to the mass of an object what happens to the acceleration?
If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?
What happen to the acceleration of an object if the force on the object increases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object mass increases ,acceleration decreases
What happen to the acceleration of an object if the force one object increases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object mass increases ,acceleration decreases
What happens to acceleration of an object as its mass decreased?
The acceleration of the object increases.
What happens to the accelerating force as mass decreases?
Hold on there. Mass doesn't control the force. Force controls the acceleration. As the mass of an object decreases, less force is required to produce the same acceleration. If the accelerating force is gravitational, that force will decrease. If it is not, then the force will not decrease.
What happens if you increase the mass on an object does the acceleration decrease or increase?
If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?
What would be the situation if mass were added to or lost from a system while a constant force was being applied to the system?
Since Force = Mass x Acceleration If force is held constant and one varies the mass then the acceleration will vary according to the equation: Acceleration = Force / Mass As a result, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In other words, if one increases the mass of the object, the acceleration of the object will decrease proportionally. Similarly, if one decreases the mass of the object, the acceleration will increase proportionally.
When velocity may change?
Velocity can only change if the object experiences an acceleration. Acceleration can only change if either the Force on the object increases, or the Mass of the object decreases.
How does net force affect acceleration?
If net force acting on a mass decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases. But if the mass of an object were to decrease while a constant net force acted on it, its acceleration would INcrease. If the net force on the object AND the object's mass both decrease, the object's acceleration could either increase OR decrease. We'd need the actual numbers in order to calculate how it would turn out.
