What will happened to the acceleration of an object if you double both the mass and the unbalanced force acting on it?

Answer 1

If both the mass and the net force on an object are doubled,

then the object's acceleration will not change.

Answer 2

Because the net force = (the object's mass) * (acceleration of object), if you double the object's mass, but keep the force the same, the acceleration is cut in half.

Ex:

Let's use this base formula for force:

F=m*a

Suppose we have a one kilogram object that has an acceleration of two meters per second squared.

2N = 1kg * 2m/s2

The force acting on this object is two Newtons. Now if we change the mass of the object to two kilograms, but keep the force at two Newtons, we can solve for the new acceleration to compare it to the original of two meters per second squared.

2N = 2kg * ?m/s2

a = 1m/s2

When you solve algebraically for a, you get one meter persecond squared, which is half of the original acceleration.

Answer 3

F=ma Force = mass x acceleration If you double the mass, you must also double the force to achieve the same acceleration.

Answer 4

Since Force = Mass x Acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional. This means that as the force is doubled so is the acceleration.

Answer 5

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force on an object.

Doubling the net force doubles the object's acceleration.

Answer 6

Half as much

Answer 7

the acceleration of the cart decreases.

Answer 8

the same
