From F=m*a,
acceleration = force / mass
Since mass is in the denominator, it would follow that the less mass there is, the greater the acceleration, force being equal.
Although an average motorcycle has, perhaps, half the horsepower of a medium size car, it has MUCH less mass.
What else can I help you with?
What is always true of an object with a lot of mass?
Such an object makes a larger dent in the fabric of space-time than an object with little mass. (It has a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects)A greater force is required to accelerate such an object than a less massive object
How could a toy rocket accelerate after takeoff?
As long as the thrust is more than the weight of the rocket (toy or otherwise) the rocket will accelerate. When the thrust matches the weight, the rocket will cruise. When the thrust is less then the rocket will slow.
Does sugar dissolve faster than salt when all other variables are the same?
Sugar dissolves in a liquid faster than salt does. The reason is that sugar is less dense as a solute than salt is, leading to it dissolving in the solvent faster as it would fit into the 'empty gaps' that the solvent has at a much faster rate, which is how substances dissolve.
Do gas molecules move slower when they are cooled?
Yes, the hotter atoms are, the faster they more.
Is hot water less dense than cold water?
Yes, because the higher the temperature, the faster and more spread out the molecules, therefore making hot water less dense than cold water.
Why can a motorcycle accelerate faster than a car even though its engine produces less force?
because it has less mass.. Force = mass x acceleration
Can a motorcycle stop faster than a car in an emergency?
Yes. The less something weighs the faster it will stop.
How do you make motorcycle top speed faster?
depends on the motorcycle, i know the CVT transmissions can have different final drive gears installed for more top end but the acceleration from a stop will be less.
What will make an object accelerate faster one with less inertia or more momentum?
If an object has more momentum, it has either a greater mass or a greater velocity. If an object has less inertia, it has less mass. So am object with less inertia will accelerate faster than one with greater momentum because of a greater mass, assuming the same force of acceleration is applied to both. However, if the greater momentum is due to greater velocity, not enough information has been provided to answer the question.
What makes fish move fast?
the smaller they are the less resistance to water and the faster they move.
Who makes the RS 125 motorcycle?
The RS 125 motorcycle is manufactured by the Piaggio company. Most RS 125 motorcycles are replicas of street racing models, but feature a less powerful motor.
Why does racing bicycles weigh less than other kinds of bicycles?
racing bicycles are lighter because they are made of lighter materials, and less weight means you accelerate faster and that's what counts in racing..speed!
Why does a coin fall faster than paper?
A coin falls faster than paper due to differences in density and aerodynamics. Coins are denser and have less surface area compared to paper, allowing them to overcome air resistance more easily and accelerate faster towards the ground.
What is a disadvantage of driving a motorcycle instead of a car?
You have less cargo space on a motorcycle.
What are 2 advantages of taking long strides in running?
You use less energy per step, so you can go for longer Each push can accelerate more, so you can go faster
Does a heavier balloon car go faster?
No, a heavier balloon car does not go faster. The speed of the balloon car is determined by the amount of force produced by the balloon pushing the car forward, not by its weight. In fact, a lighter balloon car may actually travel faster because there is less mass to accelerate.
How does the steepness of a ramp affect a ball?
The steepness of a ramp affects how quickly a ball will accelerate. A steeper ramp will result in a faster acceleration of the ball compared to a less steep ramp. The steeper the ramp, the more gravity will act on the ball, causing it to roll faster.
