During forward acceleration on any vehicle (front wheel drive or otherwise), more of the vehicles weight is transferred to the rear of the car, making the rear of the car heavier. This is undesirable in a front wheel drive car because there is less weight over the drive wheels to produce traction (causing the front wheels to spin)

Why do astronauts feel heavier during launch?

Astronauts feel heavier during launch because of the upward motion of the spacecraft. This has the effect of adding extra "g's," or gravity forces, making everything seem heavier while the thrust is occurring.

How would the observed value of the acceleration of a block be affected if the one used is heavier?

From f = m*a, a = f/m, so if the force remains constant and the mass increases, the acceleration will decrease. But if the block is on an incline and the force is provided by gravity, the force will increase directly proportional to the mass of the block, and acceleration will remain the same.


What effect does the mass of a rocket have on its acceleration?

A heavier rocket will have a lower acceleration compared to a lighter rocket, assuming the same amount of force is applied. This is because the heavier rocket will require more force to overcome its inertia and accelerate.

Does the mass of an object change the rate of acceleration?

yes it does it makes it heavier which in turn slows acceleration unless more force is added to move the object

What becomes heavier after getting burnt?

Magnesium becomes heavier after it is burnt. This is because the magnesium has chemically bonded with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The oxygen adds the extra weight.

Is rubber lighter or heavier when frozen?

Rubber is generally heavier when frozen because as it freezes, it becomes more dense. The molecules in the rubber contract and move closer together, increasing its weight.


What factors can affect on acceleration?

Factors that can affect acceleration include the mass of an object (heavier objects accelerate more slowly), the force applied to the object (greater force leads to faster acceleration), and friction or air resistance (which can slow down acceleration). Additionally, the angle of incline or the surface on which the object is moving can also impact acceleration.
