According to newton's second law of motion the acceleration of an object equals the net force acting on the object divided by the object's?

Newton's Second Law is usually written as:F = ma
(Newton didn't write it like this, originally.)
Solving for acceleration:
a = F/m
So, to get the acceleration, you divide the net force by the mass.

How does gravitational force affect acceleration?
The force of gravity causes objects to accelerate (speed up) when they fall. This is because of newtons law F=MA force equals mass times acceleration, meaning when you put a force such as gravity on a mass it will accelerate the mass
Gravity between two objects increases as?
distance between them decreases. gravity is inversely proportional to square of distance between two objects, according to newtons law of gravity
What is the relation between gravitation and acceleration due to gravity?
Gravitation acts as a force on all kinds of objects, pulling them down. According to Newton's Second Law of motion, this causes an acceleration (assuming other forces can be ignored).Gravitation acts as a force on all kinds of objects, pulling them down.

An objects tendency to resist acceleration is measured by?
Angular acceleration
If an objects velocity time graph is a straight line parallel to the taxis what can you conclude about the objects acceleration?
acceleration is zero
How do you calculate a objects acceleration?
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time interval)
What is the only force acting on objects in freefall?
constant force down (newtons) = mass (kgs) * acceleration due to gravity (m/s/s) > increasing force up (newtons) = velocity (m/s) 2 * objects drag coefficient
Is the change of an objects velocity divided by the amount of time required for change to occur?
That is called acceleration.
How do you calculate an objects acceleration?
Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)
How do you find the weight of an object on earth?
You could weigh it against other objects. If it is not on the surface, multiply its mass by the acceleration of gravity (at that distance) to find its gravitational potential in newtons.
The force of gravitation between two objects is 500 Newtons what would be the force of gravitaion if the distance between these two objects increased by 10 times?
If the gravitational force decreases according to the square of the distance, then if the distance is doubled the force becomes one forth of what it was. So if you doubled the the distance between the two objects then they would have a gravitational force of 125 Newtons. That happens because 2 squared is 4 and 500 divided by 4 is 125.
How can an objects weight change even though it contains the same mass?
An objects weight depends on the acceleration due to gravity. If an object which has a mass of 2 kg is weighed on earth, it will weigh 2 X 9.8= 19.6 newtons. However, if the same object is taken to the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/s2, it will weigh 2 X 1.62= 3.24 newtons. In general, an objects weight will change even if you take it to the top of a very high point on earth where the acceleration due to gravity will be slightly smaller. to answer your question: an objects weight can change if it is taken to a location with a different force of gravity or acceleration due to gravity.
