The idea here is to use Newton's Second Law: F=ma. Solving for acceleration, you get:a = F/m (acceleration = force / mass).

What affects the acceleration of a moving body?

Force! Acceleration a=f/m, the force F changes the acceleration.


What force makes us move forward when a car suddenly stops?

This is not a force, but your conservation of momentum. For there to be a force, you must have some acceleration, but what you feel is actually your body attempting to continue moving forward until the force of friction and force normal of your seat belt decelerate you.


What force decreases the acceleration of two objects moving against each other?

The force that decreases the acceleration of two objects moving against each other is the gravitational force.


What would happen if you doubled the force acting on a moving object?

If you doubled the force on a moving object you would double its acceleration.


What is the definition of forward motion force?

The definition of "forward motion" is simply the act of moving forward. Therefore, forward motion force is a force that moves something forward.


What force is responsible for a tennis ball moving forward after it gets hit by a tennis racket?

The ball keeps moving forward because of its momentum, which is not a force.


What is the force that says that an object that is moving forward will continue to move forward unless another force stops it?

It is the force of inertia.


Can cause an object to start moving stop moving or change directions?

A force or acceleration


The constant acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called?

The force toward the centre of the circle is called the centripetal force. centrpetal acceleration.


What must you know about an object that is moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?

You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.

You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.


Why force changes the speed of an object?

Force = Mass * Acceleration or Acceleration = Force / MassThe Mass is the mass of the object and the Acceleration is the change of speed of the object due to the Force.
