A motorcycle has less of what that makes it accelerate faster than a car?

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 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.
Will a sky diver with a greater mass accelerate faster that a sky diver with less mass?
Yes
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.
Object that are more massive accelerate faster on the moon than those that are less masive?
yep the same as thing happens aon erth
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.
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!
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 a stone fall faster than a feather?
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
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
What is a disadvantage of driving a motorcycle instead of a car?
You have less cargo space on a motorcycle.
