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.

What is the horizontal force that must be applied to produce an acceleration of 1.8 g for a 1.2 kg puck -on a horizontal friction free air table?

The horizontal force required to produce an acceleration of 1.8 g on a 1.2 kg puck is 21.6 N. This is calculated by multiplying the mass of the puck by the acceleration due to gravity (1.8 g = 1.8 x 9.81 m/s^2) to get the force needed.


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.


How do you calculate the horizontal force that must be applied to produce an acceleration of 1.8 g?

F = M A F = force M = mass of the object being forced A = the object's acceleration You want A = 1.8 G = 1.8 x 9.8 = 17.64 meters per second2 Fnewtons = (17.64) x (Mkilograms)


What horizontal force must be applied to produce an acceleration of g for a 1 kg puck on a horizontal friction-free air table?

The horizontal force required would be equal to the mass of the puck multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (1 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 9.81 N). This force is needed to overcome the gravitational force acting downward on the puck.


Do horizontally launched projectiles have a horizontal acceleration?

No, horizontally launched projectiles do not have a horizontal acceleration after being launched because there are no horizontal forces acting on them once they are in motion. Horizontal acceleration only occurs if there is a change in velocity in the horizontal direction, which would require a horizontal force.


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


I have the weight and force so how do i figure out acceleration?

Acceleration = force in newtons divided by mass in kilograms


Is horizontal force applied on a body which is less than its weight can move body?

No, a horizontal force that is less than the weight of an object will not be able to move the object. In order to move the object, the horizontal force must be greater than or equal to the weight of the object.


What is the production of acceleration?

In very general terms, the application of a force will produce an acceleration.


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.


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.
