Why does it take more force to accelerate a more massive object?
Newtons second law of motion states that the force applied on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. In mathematical terms, this law can be stated as F=ma . Therefore, if the objects acceleration is considered constant, according to the previous equation, the amount of force applied on an object is directly proportional to its mass. In other words, if object A is three times as massive as object B, object B is accelerating at a constant rate because of a force applied on it, and you want to apply enough force on object A so that it can accelerate at an equal rate to that of object B, them you have to apply three times as much force on object A as is being applied on object B. A non mathematical reason for why this happens is because mass gives objects a quality known as inertia. Inertia is the resistance an object offers against a force that tries to move it. therefore, if an object is more massive, it will offer more resistance against any force applied on it, so you will have to apply more force in order to move it. Its a bit like how its a lot easier to push an empty swing than it is to push a swing with someone sitting on it (this might not be the best example though, as there are other factors that apply in this situation, although it helps to express the basic idea).
How far does a 100 newton force have to move to do 1000 joules of work?
Use the definition of work: work = force x distance and solve for distance. Since you are using SI units, the distance will be in meters. Note that this is a simplified formula, which assumes (1) that the force is constant, and (2) that the force is applied in the same direction as the movement.
Why is mass not important?
Because according to the big bang theory, that determines the future of the universe:Big crunch, collapseFlat universe, smooth expansion foreverContinuing accelerating expansionHowever recent observations suggest that about 3 billion years ago the expansion began accelerating. If it continues accelerating at this rate at some point in the future every subatomic particle will be carried so far from every other one it will be impossible for any of them to interact with any other in anyway. The cosmologist have given the supposed cause of this acceleration the name "dark energy".
What is always true of an object with a lot of mass?
Such an object makes a larger dent in the fabric of space-time than an object with little mass. (It has a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects)A greater force is required to accelerate such an object than a less massive object
If an object has a large mass on Earth what else does it have a lot of?
Answer: weight and inertia
What would you expect to accelerate most?
I would expect small, light objects to accelerate more than large, heavy objects when subjected to the same force, due to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). Objects with less mass will experience a greater acceleration for a given force applied to them.
How does mass affect distance when the force applied is the same?
well think of it like having a small object with little mass then a large object with a lot of mass. Hitting the big object takes more force to make it move and the little object does not take nearly as much force to make it move. i hope this helped!
How does gravitational force affect your mass?
Gravitational force does not change your mass. Mass is the same when you are floating in the weightlessness of space, but your mass when put into a gravitational field creates your weight. On Earth, Earth's gravity (gravitational force) pulls on your mass, creating your weight. The mass of an object determines its gravitational pull. A object with a lot of mass like the Earth has a lot of gravitational force/pull -- the force we call gravity. So, your body has a gravitational force, it's just so small, because your mass is small, it isn't noticeable.
Why does a rocket takes a lot of force?
A Rocket has a LOT of MASS. Its initial Velocity is ZERO and its final velocity must be approximately 25,000 MPH to get into Orbit. That takes a LOT of Acceleration! FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION FORCE = 1/2 MASS x V2 (the 2 means squared) Looking at these equations you can see that requiring a High amount of Acceleration, and a LARGE terminal Velocity acting on a HUGE Mass, will require a "lot of FORCE". It is simple Arithmetic!
Would you expect a small mass with a lot of forced applied to accelerate the most?
No, think about throwing a piece of paper, it just fluters down, but a tennis ball goes a long ways
What was Isaac newtons 2 rule?
The second law is about how the force affects the motion. A relatively small force could make, say, a tennis ball accelerate a lot (e.g. changing its direction completely), but could not make the motion of, for example, a truck change very much. This is because the mass of the objects are very different. Similarly, if two objects had the same mass, a large force would change the motion a lot, where as a small force not so much. So the change in motion depends on the size of the force and the mass of the object.
How are force and momentum related?
Force is the rate of change of momentum. When a force is applied to an object, it causes the object's momentum to change. The greater the force applied, the greater the change in momentum experienced by the object.
What happens when you apply a lot of force to an object?
When a lot of force is applied to an object, it can result in deformation, breaking, or shifting of the object's position. The object may experience stress and strain, leading to changes in its shape or form. Ultimately, the object's behavior under force depends on its material properties and the magnitude of the applied force.
How does newton's second law affect the movement of softball?
When a pitcher pitches the ball, she (or he) applies a force to it to push it over the plate. Depending on the size of the ball they use and the amount of force applied, the ball will take a different path to the plate. So if a pitcher applies a lot of force with a small ball, the ball will go faster. If the pitcher applies little force to a large ball it may not travel as quickly.
Why does an object with a lot of mass take the shape of a sphere?
Objects such as astriods or small moons are iregulary shaped because they have much less mass than the planets. Therefore thier gravitational force is not strong enough to form a sphere.
When a substance has a lot of mass packed into a small volume it is said to be?
Dense
The distance between two objects increase what happens to the force of gravity between them?
The force changes in the direction opposite to the change in distance. More distance ==> less force, and less distance ==> more force. That's why the gravitational force between the sun and you is small, even though the sun has a lot more mass than the earth has.
