The force required to accelerate an object depends on the object's mass.
Newton's second law states that Force = Mass * Acceleration. Re-written to solve for acceleration, this becomes Acceleration = Force/Mass.
Basically, this means that the more mass an object has, the more force is required to accelerate it. Also, the faster you want to accelerate the object, the more force you will need.
What else can I help you with?
What force would help you slide down a slide?
Gravity? the strength of the floor?
What is glass slide in microscope?
A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, used to hold objects for examination . Typically the object is placed or secured between the slide and a cover slip
The force of friction is directed opposite of the way an object is moving because?
The force of friction is NOT ALWAYS directed opposite the direction an object is moving. Consider, for example, an object (like a book) resting on a piece of paper on a table. If you gently pull the paper and the book moves with the paper, friction between the paper and the book is causing the book to move in the same direction as the paper. Even if you pull a bit faster and the book slides in the same direction as the paper motion, but a little bit slower, the friction is the force which is pulling the book along--in the same direction of the paper motion.The direction friction is acting is opposite the direction of the relative SLIDING or attempted sliding of surfaces. In the cases above, without friction, the book would slide opposite the direction of paper motion, so the friction is in the same direction, accelerating the book along with the paper. In the first case, the book's acceleration is the same as the paper's; in the second, the book's acceleration is less than the paper's causing the book to actually slide backwards relative to the paper's motion.
How does weight effect the momentum of a moving object?
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
What would it be like without friction to pick up a pencil?
The pencil would just slide out of your hand because there would be nothing holding it there. You would have to balance the pencil on your hand!
If you exert a horizontal force of 600N to slide an object across the floor at a constant speed is the force of friction between the object and the floor greater than less than or equal to 600N?
Since the object is moving at a constant speed, the net force on it must be zero.If I'm applying a constant horizontal force, then the frictional force must be equal to my force = 600N and in the opposite direction to my force.
What force is sliding down slide?
The force that is driving the object down the slide is gravity. As the object moves down the slide, gravity pulls it downwards, causing it to accelerate. Friction between the object and the slide may also play a role in its motion.
If the friction equals the force why the object moves. why it doesn't stop?
Friction force is equal to the force applied only when the object is not moving or it is just beginning to slide. Once the object has started motion completely, it means that the force applied has exceeded the frictional force
What force pulls an object down a slide?
when you're going on a slide you are being pulled toward the ground so it would be gravity.
What force makes a car begin to move?
1. The forces involved are arise in response to the action of an applied force. 2. Discuss the interaction between an object and a surface it is resting on; the object pushes down on the surface; the surface pushes up on the object with an equal force; this is called the reaction of the surface. 3. Discuss the interaction between two surfaces which slide (or tend to slide) relative to each other; each surface experiences a force in the direction which prevents (or tends to prevent) relative movement; this interaction is called friction.
Does is take more force to pick up an object or slide it across the desk or floor?
It typically takes more force to slide an object across a surface than to pick it up. When sliding an object, you are working against friction which creates resistance, whereas when picking up an object, you primarily need to overcome gravity.
What is the difference between shear force and bending moment?
Shear force is the force perpendicular to the axis of an object, causing it to shear or slide. Bending moment is the measure of the bending effect of a force applied to an object, causing it to bend or deform. In essence, shear force is the force that tends to make a body slide or cut, while bending moment is the force that tends to make a body bend.
How could an unbalanced force work on each year and rest on the floor and the floor make it slide across the room?
i wish i knew how
Are you agree that your weight is equivalent to the friction force. Why?
No. On a horizontal surface the normal force is equal to weight. If you are moving at constant velocity you only overcome frictional force, which is not equal to weight. This is easier to see on an incline. At some point an object will slide at constant velocity down the incline. This is related to trig functions of the angle of incline multiplied by the weight which is always less than the weight.
How do you make an experiment with the question How does the weight of an object affect the force needed to slide the object?
You try it! You use objects of various weights. You measure the force in each case. You look for a pattern in the results.
What type of force is directed parallel to the surface?
A force directed parallel to the surface is called a tangential force or a shear force. This type of force acts parallel to the surface of an object, causing it to slide or deform.
What type of force slows you down as you slide across the floor?
The force that slows you down as you slide across the floor is primarily kinetic friction. This force arises due to the interactions between the surfaces of the sliding object and the floor, leading to resistance that opposes the motion.
