If gravity is the only force acting on a falling body, then its acceleration is constant
until it hits the ground, and the number is 9.81 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .
If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?
-- If you really mean "falls through the air", then its acceleration steadily decreases. -- If you're actually thinking about an object that's "falling", with no air in the way and no other influence on it except gravity, then its acceleration is constant as it falls.
its acceleration will be increased
its acceleration will be increased
The acceleration of the object increases.
Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
When you drop an object, it falls due to gravity. The speed at which it falls depends on the object's mass and the force of gravity. If there is no air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of size or weight, as described by the acceleration due to gravity.
when an object falls is it reactin to the force of gravity?
The acceleration increases.
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.
Yes, when an object falls freely due to gravity, its acceleration is uniform and equal to 9.8 m/s^2, directed towards the center of the Earth. This uniform acceleration is the result of the gravitational force acting on the object and is independent of the object's mass.
In that case, the acceleration will also increase.
