A horizontal force acts a body that is free to move can it produce an acceleration if the force is less then the weight of that body?

Yes it can, and if less force is needed if you eliminate the possibility of friction. You can find many examples of this, but i think this is an excellent opportunity to devise an experiment and practice your scientific methods.

produces acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity. Less force produces less
acceleration. More force produces more acceleration.

What will the mass and acceleration produce if the applied force is constant?
If the applied force is constant, the acceleration will also be constant. To know the actual amount of acceleration, you divide the force by the mass.
How many newtons does 1 kg dropped from 1 meter produce?
1 kg when dropped accelerates at 9.81 metres per second per second under gravity. Newton's 2nd law says force is mass times acceleration, and the force in Newtons is therefore the mass (1) times the acceleration (9.81), which is 9.81 Newtons. That is the force pulling it down, also termed its weight.
How do you calculate weight on an incline?
An incline does not have a weight associated with it.
What do forces produce?
forces produce motion, magnetism, acceleration, climate change, and movement
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
What is horizontal acceleration?
It is acceleration in the horizontal direction. This would happen as a result of a net horizontal force acting on a body.
For an object to be in projectile motion and what force must be acting on it?
Gravity must be the only force acting on the object, to produce downwards vertical acceleration. There is no force acting in the horizontal direction because there is no acceleration.
What is acceleration force?
In physics there is no such thing as an "acceleration force". A force however will produce an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law: F=ma, or force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass
Why throwing a ball always put down in curve not in straight?
-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.
How is force related acceleration?
Force is the produce of acceleration and mass. This is expressed in the equation F=ma
What is mass multiplied by gravity?
Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
What is a similarity between mass an weight?
mass times acceleration is a force. If the acceleration is caused by gravity then the force is called weight.
When two horizontal forces are exerted on a cart 750 N forward and 550 N backward the cart undergoes acceleration What additional force is needed to produce nonaccelerated motion?
200 backwards force.
What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).
What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?
As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.
I have the weight and force so how do i figure out acceleration?
Acceleration = force in newtons divided by mass in kilograms
How are weight and force are related?
Weight depends on force. The amount of weight depends on the amount of force
