Usually time but it could depend on the specific graph.

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).

What two variables does force depend on?

Force depends on the mass of an object and the acceleration it experiences. This relationship is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma).


What are two variables that acceleration depends on?

Acceleration depends on the mass of the object and the net force acting on it.


What two variables is acceleration dependent on and what is the relationship between these variables and acceleration?

Acceleration is dependent on both the force acting on an object and the mass of the object. The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, the relationship can be represented as a = F/m, where a is acceleration, F is force, and m is mass.


What variables affect the acceleration of an object and in what manner do they affect the acceleration?

The acceleration of an object is affected by the force applied to it and its mass. Increasing the force applied to an object will increase its acceleration, while increasing the mass of an object will decrease its acceleration for the same force applied.


What is the equation for the curve of an acceleration vs mass graph?

It depends on the force acting on the body in question. Depending on which way you want your independent and dependent variables set up, the equation is either Acceleration = Force/mass or Mass = Force/acceleration


Why is defining only force not enough?

If you are talking about problems involving Newton's second law of motion, F = ma, you would need to define two of the three variables of force, mass, and acceleration in order to find the third variable. If you have force and mass, you can find acceleration. If you have force and acceleration, you can find mass. If you have mass and acceleration you can find force.


Explain how force acceleration and mass are related?

Force equals mass times acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion. This means that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it, and inversely proportional to its mass. In simpler terms, the larger the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration, while the greater the mass of the object, the smaller its acceleration for the same force.


What does fma represent?

In science f=ma stands for Force, Mass, Acceleration


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 equation is used to represent newtons second law of motion?

The equation used to represent Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, where F is the force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. This equation states that the force acting on an object is proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration produced.


What creates force?

Mass and acceleration creates force (Mass*Acceleration=Force).


How force is related to acceleration?

Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration. So if you are given an equation where you know two of the three variables you can find the third. You can also manipulate the equation as needed.
