If my density remains the same, as it tends to do if you're a human (and my height stays constant also) then halving my radius would result in a 4 fold decrease in mass. So whatever the ratio of the new radius to the old, you must square it to find the new mass to old mass ratio. This is because the mass with constant height is a two dimensional function of area, whereas the radius is only one dimensional. Eg. Radius is now 80% of original. New mass is 80% * 80% = 64% of original. If you're talking 3 dimensional radius reduction, like a sphere, then you CUBE the ratio. So 80% * 80% * 80% = 51.2%. So reducing the radius by only 20% results in nearly halving the mass!

∙ 12y agoLet start with the equation of acceleration:
acceleration = force / mass
It depends on what is happening to object when mass decreases.
If the force reminds the same. Then according to this equation the object rate of acceleration would increase.
Basically a rocket would be an example of this.
The force of the rocket fuel being emptied out of the rocket would decrease the mass of the rocket and therefore increase the rate of acceleration as the fuel is being burned.

How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?
If acceleration is kept constant but you vary the mass, the force will vary in direct proportion to the mass. If the mass increases, the force will also increase, and if the mass decreases the force will also decrease. Newton's 2nd Law, illustrated by the equation F=ma, illustrates this.
The formula for newton's second law of motion is force equals mass acceleration use the formula to explain what happens to a force if you increase the acceleration of a mass?
To achieve more acceleration, you need more force.
What happens to the mass per nucleon in uranium when it is split into smaller nuclei?
The mass of the nucleon is decreased; the difference is released as energy.
Do you divide force and mass to get acceleration?
you have to take mass and acceleration to get force
Why is this not the acceleration formula - acceleration force - mass if acceleration increases when force increases and it decreases when mass increases?
My bad, im asking why the formula isnt acceleration= force - mass
What happens to acceleration of an object as its mass decreased?
The acceleration of the object increases.
What happens to acceleration when mass is increased?
it gets decreased
What happens to the mass of an object what happens to the acceleration?
If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?
If you use the same force on a less massive object what happens to the acceleration?
Force equals mass times acceleration, so an alternative formula is acceleration equals force divided by mass. Therefore if the mass is decreased, the acceleration goes up. Thus a 100 HP engine on a motor cycle produces more acceleration than the same engine on a car.
What happens when force is decreased?
Assuming that mass stays constant, a decrease in force will result in a corresponding decrease in the acceleration of the object being acted upon by the force.
What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.
How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?
If acceleration is kept constant but you vary the mass, the force will vary in direct proportion to the mass. If the mass increases, the force will also increase, and if the mass decreases the force will also decrease. Newton's 2nd Law, illustrated by the equation F=ma, illustrates this.
What happens to the acceleration when mass and force are doubled?
Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.
What happens to the acceleration when the total mass increases but unbalanced force remain constant?
Acceleration increases
What happens if mass is decreased and volume remains constant?
The density will decrease
What happens to the acceleration and force of an object when mass increases?
When mass increases, the force increases (f=ma) and the acceleration decreases (a=F/m).
If you use the same force on less massive object what happened to the acceleration?
Force equals mass times acceleration, so an alternative formula is acceleration equals force divided by mass. Therefore if the mass is decreased, the acceleration goes up. Thus a 100 HP engine on a motor cycle produces more acceleration than the same engine on a car.
