It would slow the object down because it now weighs more.

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 is the acceleration of a 24 kg mass pushed by a 6N force?
Acceleration is 0.25m/s2 (A = force/mass).
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 happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.
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.
What would happen to the acceleration if you increased the mass?
the acceleration decreases

What would be the situation if mass were added to or lost from a system while a constant force was being applied to the system?
Since Force = Mass x Acceleration If force is held constant and one varies the mass then the acceleration will vary according to the equation: Acceleration = Force / Mass As a result, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In other words, if one increases the mass of the object, the acceleration of the object will decrease proportionally. Similarly, if one decreases the mass of the object, the acceleration will increase proportionally.
What happen to the acceleration of an object if the force on the object increases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object mass increases ,acceleration decreases
What is force times mass?
Force = Mass * Acceleration If you would multiply that by Mass, you would have mass^2 * acceleration. Which, to say the least, is nothing.
What happen to the acceleration of an object if the force one object increases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object mass increases ,acceleration decreases
If the mass of abject increases what will happen to its acceleration if the same amount of?
it will increase.
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.
What is the acceleration caused by your push on a ball?
The acceleration of the ball would depend on its mass and the force of the push. This is because force = mass times acceleration. You could manipulate this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing each side by mass. Acceleration therefore equals force/mass.

What would happen if you increase the mass of an object?
Since the force of gravity is directly proportional to mass, then increasing the mass of an object increases the force of gravity it produces.Since accceleration = force/mass, then increasing the mass of an object means it will have a smaller acceleration for the same force (or alternatively that you need more force to produce the same acceleration).
What numbers would you have to have for mass and force to keep the greatest acceleration?
To maintain acceleration, both mass and force must remain unchanged. Decreasing mass and/or increasing force will increase acceleration.
