If the mass of an object is doubled what happens to the acceleration of that object?
It would depend on what force is driving the acceleration. If that force is gravity, then acceleration is constant irrespective of variations in mass. All else being equal and presuming the acceleration is by the same exerted force on both the larger and smaller object, the larger object would experience 1/3 the acceleration. (The formula for determining the force is F = ma , the mass times the acceleration. For the same F, and m2 is 3m, then a2 must equal a/3. )
What else can I help you with?
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?
What happens to acceleration if an object's mass is halved and the applied force is doubled?
If an object's mass is halved and the applied force is doubled, the acceleration of the object will quadruple. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass according to Newton's second law (F = ma). Therefore, reducing the mass by half and doubling the force will result in a fourfold increase in acceleration.
How could you keep an object acceleration the same if the force acting on object were doubled?
force = mass * acceleration if force is doubled, mass needs to be doubled to keep the same acceleration example: force = 6 mass = 2 acceleration = 3 6 = 2 * 3 12 = m * 3 12/3 = m 4 = mass
What happens to acceleration of an object as its mass decreased?
The acceleration of the object increases.
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.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it is doubled?
Acceleration is doubled. F = ma, where m is mass and a is acceleration. If mass is halved, acceleration is changed by a related quantity, X in this equation. F = (1/2m)(Xa) The coefficients before mass and accelerations have to equal 1 if force stays the same, so... 1/2*X=1 X = 2 therefore, acceleration is doubled.
If we double the force what happens to the acceleration?
If force is doubled and the mass remains constant, acceleration will also double. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object.
When you double the force acting on an object and keep the mass of the cart constant the acceleration is?
Doubled. According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object when mass is constant. Therefore, doubling the force will lead to a doubling of acceleration.
If you doubl the mass of an object while leaving the net force unchanged what is the result on the acceleration?
If the mass is doubled while keeping the net force constant, the acceleration of the object will be halved. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant (a = F / m).
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.
If you increase the force on an object what happens to the acceleration?
If you increase the force on an object acceleration increases . As F = m*a, where F = Force , m = mass of the object & a = acceleration
A cart of a certain mass has a certain net force exerted on it and its acceleration is 4 ms2 what happens to the acceleration if the cart's mass doubled force?
If the cart's mass is doubled, its acceleration would be halved if the force remains constant. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, so an increase in mass would result in a decrease in acceleration when force is held constant.
