What else can I help you with?
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the mass of the object and the amount of force applied is also called?
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.
How are Force Acceleration and Mass related?
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
One way to increase acceleration is by?
Increase the force on the object. The force must be in the same direction as the acceleration.
What happens to the acceleration of an objects when the mass is cut in half?
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.
When force is proportional to mass and acceleration why do you say force is proportional to mass multiplied by acceleration why not mass plus acceleration and so on?
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).
Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the 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.
Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
Are mass and acceleration proportional?
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.
When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
Is acceleration directly proportional to force or it is inversely proportional to force?
Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m
What does newtons 2nd law state?
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
Is acceleration directly proportional to mass or is it inversly proportional to mass?
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.
Is accelaration directly proportional to force?
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 and objects of different mass are observed or mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?
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.
What two forces affect acceleration?
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.
The amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass?
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.
What is the relationship between acceleration, force, and mass?
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.
