This relationship between Force, mass and acceleration can be described in the law of F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Therefore if the mass is tripled, in order for the Force to remain the same, the acceleration must be reduced by a factor of 3.

What would happen if you doubled the force acting on a moving object?

Doubling the force acting on a moving object would cause the object to accelerate at a faster rate, leading to an increase in its speed. This is in accordance with Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on it.


What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?

An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.


If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


What can cause velocity to change?

acceleration, due to a force the moving body is affected by. SUM[Forces] = mass * acceleration --> change in speed.


What 2 things affect the acceleration of an object?

The acceleration of an object is affected by the net force acting on it and the mass of the object. A greater net force or a smaller mass will result in higher acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion.


What are the factors affecting the acceleration of an object?

The acceleration of an object is affected by the net force acting on it (directly proportional), the mass of the object (inversely proportional), and the object's resistance to motion such as friction or air resistance. Additional factors may include the angle of incline, the surface on which the object is moving, and external forces like gravity.


Why would acceleration be affected by angle of inclination?

Acceleration is affected by the angle of inclination due to the component of gravitational force acting parallel to the surface. As the angle increases, a larger portion of the gravitational force contributes to accelerating an object down the slope. Conversely, at smaller angles, less gravitational force acts parallel to the incline, resulting in lower acceleration. Thus, the steeper the incline, the greater the acceleration experienced by an object moving down it.


What ways can you increase the acceleration of an object?

You can increase the acceleration of an object by applying a greater force to it, reducing its mass, or reducing the friction acting on it. Increasing the slope of the surface it is moving on can also increase its acceleration.


Can an object be moveing and still be in equilibrium?

No, an object cannot be in equilibrium if it is moving. Equilibrium is a state where the net forces acting on an object are balanced and there is no acceleration. If an object is moving, there must be an unbalanced force acting on it causing its motion.


Can an object be moving but still have a net force of zero?

Yes, an object can be moving at a constant velocity (i.e., moving with no acceleration) and have a net force of zero. This occurs when the forces acting on the object are balanced, such as when an object is in equilibrium.


What three things happen in unbalanced forces to a moving object?

In unbalanced forces acting on a moving object, the object will experience acceleration in the direction of the greater force, its velocity will change, and it may change direction if the forces are not acting in the same line.


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).
