Because of air friction, the more physical space that an object takes up, the more power the object will need to move, this is because of the way air forces friction onto the moving object, therefore a small car/vehicle will have less air friction than a larger vehicle with more surface area

Is it the more mass an object has the harder it is to change the acceleration?

yes because of Newton's law F=ma. If you increase mass, you have to increase force to achive the same acceleration.


When the mass of an object increases how does the object's acceleration change?

As mass increases acceleration decreases.


How can you change an object's acceleration?

force=mass*acceleration Therefore acceleration = force/mass This means you can change an objects acceleration in two ways, either by applying a force to the object (for example pushing a shopping trolly). You can also change the acceleration of an object by changing the mass of the object (putting shopping in the shopping trolly)


Can a force change a mass of an object?

No, a force cannot change the mass of an object. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that remains constant regardless of the force applied to it. The force can change the object's velocity or acceleration, but not its mass.


The more mass an object has the harder it is to change its what?

The more mass an object has, the harder it is to change its momentum. This is because momentum is directly proportional to mass and velocity, so increasing mass increases the momentum, making it harder to change.


How does a change in mass affects the accelaration of an object?

Force = Mass * Acceleration (F = m * a)Therefore, if the mass of an object is increased, then the force required to accelerate to a given velocity will be greater. If the mass is decreased, then the force required to accelerate that object to a given velocity will become smaller.


What are the 3 things that can cause a change in acceleration?

Three things that can cause a change in acceleration are a change in the net force acting on an object, a change in the object's mass, or a change in the direction of the force acting on the object.


If an object's mass stays constant a net force on the object will cause a change in what?

the acceleration of the object.


What you get when you multiply an objects mass by acceleration?

When you multiply an object's mass by its acceleration, you get the force acting on the object, as described by Newton's second law of motion (Force = mass x acceleration). This force determines how the object's motion will change, whether it will speed up, slow down, or change direction.


What two things can change the acceleration of an object?

The acceleration of an object can be changed by altering the force acting on the object or by changing the object's mass. Increasing the force or reducing the mass will result in a greater acceleration, while decreasing the force or increasing the mass will lead to a lower acceleration.


What has to be changed in order for acceleration to change?

Acceleration can change when the force acting on an object changes. This force can be increased, decreased, or applied in a different direction to alter the acceleration of an object. Changing the mass of the object also affects its acceleration as described by Newton's second law, F = ma.


If you increase the mass of an object its acceleration decreases?

No, increasing the mass of an object will not change its acceleration unless an external force is applied. According to Newton's second law, F=ma, acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, not its mass.
