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 equation is used to represent newtons second law of motion?
F = m a (Force = Mass x acceleration) Newtons Second law: A body of mass (m) subject to a net force (F) undergoes an acceleration (a) that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, i.e., F = ma. Alternatively, the total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative of linear momentum of the body. The equation can be moved around to find the mass from a known acceleration and force, or to find the acceleration from a known force and mass.
The overall net force acting on an object produces?
in the same direction as the net force, directly proportional to it, and inversely proportional to the object's mass.
Is force based upon both mass and acceleration?
The reason that force is measured by acceleration and mass is due to Isaac Newton's second law of motion, which tells us that the net force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the body, F = ma.
Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?
The body is not zero, but the sum of all forces on it is. -- "Uniform velocity" means no acceleration. -- Acceleration is force/mass . -- If acceleration is zero, that's an indication that force must be zero.
How can you relate a force with the change of momentum of a body?
Change of the body's momentum = (force on the body) x (length of time the force acts on it)
A horizontal force acts a body that is free to move can it produce an acceleration if the force is less then the weight of that body?
Yes it can, and if less force is needed if you eliminate the possibility of friction. You can find many examples of this, but i think this is an excellent opportunity to devise an experiment and practice your scientific methods.
Only one force acts on an object cant the object have zero acceleration and or zero velocity?
In classical physics, if a force (e.g. the sum of all forces) acts on a body, the body cannot have zero acceleration (unless the body has infinite mass), since a = F/m. The velocity on the other hand may be zero, since a(t) = v'(t).
What affects the acceleration of a moving body?
Force! Acceleration a=f/m, the force F changes the acceleration.
What is the acceleration of mass?
force acting on unit mass of body is the acceleration of that body.
What is the difference between increasing velocity and uniform velocity?
Increasing velocity means that the body is accelerating and a force is acting on the body to produce the acceleration. Uniform velocity means that there is no acceleration or deceleration and so no force acts on the body. (Note that in practice we cannot achieve perpetual motion because of either the decelerating force of gravity or friction).
What is an exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force called?
The answer to your question is Work. The definition of work is: "When a force acts against resistance to produce motion in a body, the force is said to do work." - The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics... Which means the exertion of a force on an object that produces motion in the direction of the force.
How force affects mass and acceleration?
force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body
When the net force on an object increases how does the object acceleration change?
The answer to the question is in the formula, P = mf, where P = force applied, m = mass of the body and f = acceleration of the body. It also depends on the direction of the force. If the force is towards the motion of the body, the acceleration of the body will increase. If in case the force is acting against the direction of motion of the body, the acceleration will decrease.
How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?
How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?

A mass is accelerated when what acts upon the mass?
It depends ... If the body is accelerating uniformly with a constant acceleration a ....then the Force is a constant force.... But if it is accelerating non uniformly....then the Force is not constant...The 2nd law says F=m*a where m is mass of the body...
If a body is acted by a constant force the body will have uniform?
"acceleration"
