Why does the object with the less mass have a larger acceleration?
Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass for a given force
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.
Does a smaller object with the same force will accelerate the same than a larger object?
The smaller object will have a larger acceleration than the larger object. This is because, from Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is given by: a = F/m where a is acceleration F is resultant force and m is mass F is constant, so acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Hence, the smaller object will have a larger acceleration.
When the mass of an object is halved what is the resulting acceleration?
When the mass of an object, the resulting acceleration doubles as there is less space to cause friction against the object.
Is the acceleration due to gravity dependent on the mass of an object?
yes the less mass it has the more acceleration.
What effect does mass have an acceleration?
If you apply the same amount of force to two different objects, the one which has less mass will have larger acceleration. In other words, a heavier object requires more force to get the same acceleration.
How is the acceleration of the object is affected when the mass of the object is doubled?
F=ma, a=F/m. Since the mass is in the denominator, more mass means less acceleration.
Will the mass of an object affect its force?
Yes. The force =mass x acceleration, f=ma. The larger the mass the larger the force.
Why is the relationship of force acceleration and mass fma?
This is easier to visualize if you rearrange, solving for acceleration: a = F/m. What this means is that a larger force will produce a larger acceleration. It also means that, since mass is in the denominator, in the case of a larger mass, there will be less acceleration. In other words, a more massive object is harder to accelerate (it is harder to speed it up or slow it down).
What affects the acceleration?
According to Newton's Second Law, a = F/m. That means that acceleration is caused by a force; that a greater force will result in greater acceleration; and that a larger mass (of the object on which the force acts) will result in less acceleration.
If the same force acts on two different objects will the object with the greater mass have the greater acceleration?
F=MA the object with greater mass will have less acceleration
Why does an object that has more mass fall with the same acceleration as an object that has less mass?
Because the force is proportional to the mass also, and when the formula for acceleration is used we find that acceleration due to gravity for all objects is equal.
