-- When you step on the bathroom scale, (the force you read on the dial) equals
(your mass) times (the acceleration of gravity).
-- When you MASH the gas pedal, (the force that the tires exert against the pavement)
equals (the mass of the car) times (its acceleration as you leave the STOP sign).
-- When you let go of a helium balloon, the (buoyant force in air) minus (the balloon's weight)
equals (the balloon's mass) times (its upward acceleration).
-- When you crouch and then spring up, (the force of your leg muscles) minus (your weight)
equals (your mass) times (your upward acceleration).
As soon as your feet leave the floor, the (force of your leg muscles) becomes zero,
so the equation changes to
(zero) minus (your weight) equals (your mass) times (your upward acceleration)
Multiply each side of this equation by -1 :
(your weight) equals (your mass) times (your downwardacceleration)
That's exactly the same as the bathroom-scale example up at the top of this answer.

∙ 11y agoIt takes every human being on the planet to force the mass of your body to accelerate.
A total force of 2 Newtons on a mass of 3 Kg would cause the mass to accelerate at 6 metres/sec2. Note that the acceleration is caused by the sum of all forces, so if the mass is glued to a table top there is a resisting force which causes the net force to be zero. (or you might move the table too, but then you have a different total mass then, and friction on the floor resisting motion too).

What increases as force increases?
F=ma, or force equals the product of mass and acceleration. Assuming that the mass of the object does not change, then acceleration increases as force increases.
What is the acceleration of a 24 kg mass pushed by a 6N force?
Acceleration is 0.25m/s2 (A = force/mass).
Why does the object with less mass have a larger acceleration?
Newton's Second Law says force = mass * acceleration. If you push on two objects with the same force, the object with the smaller mass will have a greater acceleration.
How are Force Acceleration and Mass related?
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
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).
Explain how a football and a soccerball can have different accelerations if pushed by the same force?
Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.
Does force describe mass or acceleration?
Neither. Force causes acceleration of mass. Mathematically, Force = Mass * Acceleration.
How are force mass and acceleration calculated with newtons second law?

What creates force?
Mass and acceleration creates force (Mass*Acceleration=Force).
Do you divide force and mass to get acceleration?
you have to take mass and acceleration to get force
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
What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?
As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.
How does mass affect accelaration?
From the formula force = mass x acceleration, if there is more mass, there will be less acceleration. Assuming the force doesn't also change.From the formula force = mass x acceleration, if there is more mass, there will be less acceleration. Assuming the force doesn't also change.From the formula force = mass x acceleration, if there is more mass, there will be less acceleration. Assuming the force doesn't also change.From the formula force = mass x acceleration, if there is more mass, there will be less acceleration. Assuming the force doesn't also change.
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.
How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?
Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.
How can you change an object's acceleration?
force=mass*acceleration Therefore acceleration = force/mass This means you can change an objects acceleration in two ways, either by applying a force to the object (for example pushing a shopping trolly). You can also change the acceleration of an object by changing the mass of the object (putting shopping in the shopping trolly)
How are force and mass related to acceleration?
ma=F (mass)(acceleration)=Force
