What is the relationship of acceleration and the mass of the object according to Newtons second law of Motion?

When force is constant, mass and acceleration are inversely related. ma=k, m=k/a or a=k/m. The smaller the mass, the greater the acceleration. The greater the mass the smaller the acceleration. Because force and acceleration are both vectors, the direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of force.


How acceleration and mass are related if the force is constant?

For a given mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on the mass, and is in the same direction as the net force. In other words, the larger the net force acting on an object, the greater its acceleration. When the net force is zero, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity.


How does mass and acceleration are related and specify if these scalar or vector qualities?

Increasing the mass decreases the acceleration. Newton's Second Law: F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration) --> a = F/m, meaning that the relationship between the acceleration and the mass is inversely proportional. Mass is a scalar quantity because it doesn't have direction. Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.


How are acceleration velocity and deceleration related?

Acceleration and deceleration are both related to changes in velocity. Acceleration refers to an increase in velocity, while deceleration refers to a decrease in velocity. Both involve changes in speed over time, with acceleration increasing speed and deceleration decreasing speed.


How is acceleration and net force related when mass is constant?

When mass is constant, acceleration and net force are directly proportional according to Newton's second law: F = ma. This means that when the net force acting on an object increases, the acceleration of the object will also increase, and vice versa.

Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


How are deceleration and acceleration related?

Acceleration and deceleration are related by their their sign. Acceleration is positive ( increase in velocity with time) and deceleration is negative (decrease in velocity with time).

How if force related to velocity and acceleration?

Force is related to velocity through Newton's second law, which states that force is directly proportional to the acceleration of an object. Mathematically, force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a). Acceleration is directly related to velocity, as a change in velocity over time results in acceleration. Therefore, force can indirectly be related to velocity through its influence on acceleration.
