What happens to the acceleration when mass and force are doubled?

Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.

What happens to acceleration if an object's mass is halved and the applied force is doubled?
The acceleration is multiplied by four. a = F/m
A cart of a certain mass has a certain net force exerted on it and its acceleration is 4 ms2 what happens to the acceleration if the cart's mass doubled force?
force = mass x acceleration so if force doubles acceleration doubles to 8 m/s2
How could you keep an object acceleration the same if the force acting on object were doubled?
force = mass * acceleration if force is doubled, mass needs to be doubled to keep the same acceleration example: force = 6 mass = 2 acceleration = 3 6 = 2 * 3 12 = m * 3 12/3 = m 4 = mass
If the mass of the skateboard doubled but the net force on it remained constant what would happen to the skateboard's acceleration?
The force equal mass times acceleration, if force remains the same, and mass is doubled, then acceleration must be cut in half.
What happens to acceleration when force is doubled?
F=ma, if "a" doubles and "m" is the same, the resultant "F" will double. Acceleration is doubled if force is doubled, a1=f/m; a2= 2f/m= 2a1.
What happens to the acceleration as you decreases the mass?
By F = ma, if the force remains constant, and the mass decreases, this would mean that the acceleration has increased by exactly the same factor as the decrease in mass. That is, if the mass of a substance was halved, its acceleration would have doubled exactly.
If the force acting on a body is doubled than the acceleration produced is?
also doubled as long as mass is not changed: F = m a force and acceleration are directly proportional, with mass being what is called the proportionality constant. If mass is not changed, as you can see from Newton's second law to preserve the equality if force increases, the acceleration must increase.
When you double the force acting on an object and keep the mass of the cart constant the acceleration is?
Doubled.
If the mass of an object is doubled what happens to the acceleration of that object?
It would depend on what force is driving the acceleration. If that force is gravity, then acceleration is constant irrespective of variations in mass. All else being equal and presuming the acceleration is by the same exerted force on both the larger and smaller object, the larger object would experience 1/3 the acceleration. (The formula for determining the force is F = ma , the mass times the acceleration. For the same F, and m2 is 3m, then a2 must equal a/3. )
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 the mass of one object increases by a factor of 2 the force of gravity increase by a factor of?
As force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass as mass is doubled then force on it also gets doubled.
What happens to the force when you increase the acceleration of the mass?
The force also increases.
