If a constant force acts on two object's of different masses which object will accelerate more?
Force = mass times acceleration, so the smaller mass will accelerate more.
Why does it require much less force to accelerate a low mass object than it does to accelerate a high mass object the same amount?
a sponge will have more matter packed in the same space
How can you make and object accelerate?
An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.
Why do two objects with different mass will fall at the same time?
-- It takes more force to accelerate an object with more mass. ... Gravity exerts more force on an object with more mass. -- It takes less force to accelerate an object with less mass. ... Gravity exerts less force on an object with less mass. Whatever the mass of the object happens to be, gravity always exerts just the right amount of force to accelerate it at always the same rate ... 9.8 meters per second2.
Can an object accelarate without friction?
Yes, an object can accelerate without friction. The only thing that is needed to accelerate an object is net force acting on it should not be zero. Then the accleration of body is given by Newton's 2nd Law: F = m*a . For example Rockets in space experience no friction, but they accelerate due to force on them by the exhaust gases.
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
If a constant force acts on two object's of different masses which object will accelerate more?
Force = mass times acceleration, so the smaller mass will accelerate more.
Why does it require much less force to accelerate a low mass object than it does to accelerate a high mass object the same amount?
a sponge will have more matter packed in the same space
If you double the amount of net force acting on an object you will?
you will make it accelerate twice as much.
An object will accelerate in the direction of what?
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.
How can you make and object accelerate?
An object will accelerate if and only if there is a net force acting on the object.

An object will accelerate in the direction of what force?
An object will accelerate in the direction of net force

As the mass of an object incresse the ability to accelerate it using the same amount of force increase or decrease?
It decrease.
What is amount of matter in an object is called?
"Amount" is one of those rubber words that can mean different things to different people. The 'amount' of matter in an object could be the object's mass, or it could be the object's volume.
A net force greater than zero will cause an object to?
... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.... to accelerate.
