Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. Net force is equal to the mass times acceleration, taking this into consideration we can clearly see that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.
By Armah Ishmael Ryesa
Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass, a = F/m.
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
Increase the force on the object. The force must be in the same direction as the acceleration.
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it. So if the force is reduced by half, the acceleration will also be halved. Of course, it will still be accelerating in the same direction as before, but not as quickly.
By definition, if two things are proportional to one and other, they are connected by a multiplying constant. If F = m + a you would simple say F is a bigger than m and it would also require that force, mass and acceleration all shared the same dimensions and units. Clearly mass is a scalar and force and acceleration are vectors, so that is not the case. Also, if they shared the same dimensions, they would effectively be the same thing so F = m + a would be the same as F(total) = F(1) + F(2) which wouldn't tell us very much about the laws of physics at all. Also, you don't say force is proportional to mass times acceleration (it's EQUAL to mass times acceleration). It's either force is proportional to mass (in which case acceleration is the factor of proportionality) or force is proportional to acceleration (in which case it is mass).
Acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This means that increasing the force applied will increase the acceleration, while increasing the mass will decrease the acceleration for a given force.
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
No, mass and acceleration are not directly proportional. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, meaning that an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration, assuming the applied force remains constant.
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m
Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m
Depends what u mean by that. If it is free falling it would obviously be accelerating at 9.8m/s^2. If there is an incline then it depends. I believe acceleration is directly proportional to velocity though.
yes; the force F is directly proportional to the acceleration a and mass m; F = ma and a = F/m; the higher the force the higher the acceleration for a given mass
When acceleration is held constant, mass and force are directly proportional according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). This means that the force required to maintain a constant acceleration increases as the mass of the object increases. Conversely, if force is held constant, acceleration would be inversely proportional to mass.
The two forces that affect acceleration are net force and mass. Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Yes, that's correct. According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is directly proportional to the force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the object's mass. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be, and the larger the mass of an object, the smaller its acceleration will be for a given force.
Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be. Conversely, the greater the mass of an object, the lower its acceleration will be for a given force.
