How does newtons second law explain why bigger vehicles need more horsepower to accelerate the same as smaller cars?

Newton's second law states that F=ma (Force= mass x acceleration). That means that mass and force are directly proportionate to each other. If the acceleration is to remain constant and yet the mass is to increase, then the force must increase (thus horsepower must increase).

What net force is required to accelerate a 20 kg object to 10 ms2?
F = M A = (20) (10) = 200 newtons
What is necessary force wise to accelerate a system?
The total input force in a given direction should be positive. (e.g. You have to overcome friction) Then by Newtons law of motion: F =ma or a =m / F which will cause a body to accelerate.
What does N stand for in weight measurements?
The N is the abbreviation of the newton, which is an SI derived unit of force. The newton is the force that will accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. N = kg (m/s2)
How many newtons of force are needed to lift a 500 kg box?
Newton is the amount of force required to accelerate an object of mass m to meter , In this case if we try to accelerate it to one meter , you require 500 newtons to lift the box perpendicularly. Also lifting of weight depends on the angle of applied force.
How many newtons of force is needed to move 1 pound?
A Newton is a measure of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. One pound of force is the same as 4.4484 newtons. One newton of force is the same as 0.2248 pound.
What is the unit of horsepower?
joules & newtons
800 newtons equals how many horsepower?
800 newtons = 3/4 HP
What level of measurement is horsepower?
torque * newtons per period.
What does isaac newtons fma stand for?
It stands for force= mass x accelerate
What force in newtons is needed to accelerate a 2kg mass at 7 ms squared?
acceleration...
What happens when an unbalanced force acts on an objects?
as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force
What it Newtons 2nd law of motion?
Newton's second law of motion is when an object meets force it will accelerate.
Two cars accelerate at a rate of 3mps the mass of each car in kilograms is 1250 and 200 how many more newtons of force are needed to accelerate the car with the larger mass?
F=ma, Force=(mass)(Accleration), (3)(1250)-(3)(200)= 3,150 Newtons
How much force is needed to accelerate a 1700-kilogram truck 3mss?
1697
What force is required to accelerate a 6.0 kg bowling ball at plus 2.0 meters per second squared?
F = M A = (6) x (2) = 12 newtons
How does newtons second law apply to ping pong?
The harder you hit the ball, makes it accelerate and makes it difficult to return the ball back on the table.
What net force is required to accelerate a 20 kg object to 10 ms2?
F = M A = (20) (10) = 200 newtons
