-- 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.
What else can I help you with?
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)
What will the mass and acceleration produce if the applied force is constant?
If the applied force is constant, the acceleration will also be constant. To know the actual amount of acceleration, you divide the force by the 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.
What creates force?
Mass and acceleration creates force (Mass*Acceleration=Force).
How are force mass and acceleration calculated with newtons second law?
oxnNJaJanjoNasONNsa force, motion, acceleration, mass
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 is the formula to find force when mass and acceleration are known?
The formula to find force when mass and acceleration are known is F = m * a, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
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.
Does force describe mass or acceleration?
Neither. Force causes acceleration of mass. Mathematically, Force = Mass * Acceleration.
How are force and mass related to acceleration?
ma=F (mass)(acceleration)=Force
What relationships are there between force mass and acceleration?
Force = Mass X Acceleration
How is the relationship of acceleration and to mass and force?
Force F = mass x Acceleration.
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.
