If the object were on earth it would travel 9.8 m/s^2.
If it is applied equally to all points, then the effect is to accelerate the body according to F = M * a. If it's not homogenous, then it may also cause a rotation.
No. To have an acceleration, you need a non-zero NET FORCE. That is, the sum of all objects acting on the box must not be equal to zero.
Not all forces can cause an acceleration. In a perfect world, newton's law of F = M*A holds true, but in our world, it is easy to have a force without a resulting acceleration. If you were to poke a 100lb weight, would it move? probably not, because friction would cancel out the force on the weight. since you receive the third law reaction force, any acceleration that would hypothetically happen to the Earth is also canceled out
Heavier than air objects accelerate downwards. Lighter than air objects accelerate upwards until they are no lighter than the air around them.
The force of gravity. All those objects have a force acting between them and the Sun. For the less massive objects the force is less, but mass and force are proportional so the force produces an acceleration that depends only on the object's distance from the Sun. All the objects in orbit would travel in a straight line without a force acting on them, but the pull of the Sun causes them to accelerate or curve continuously towards the Sun. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and the laws of motion, discovered in the late 1600s. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes both speed and direction.
All objects accelerate if the forces acting on them are not balanced.
In a vacuum, objects would accelerate due to the force of gravity acting on them. The rate of acceleration would be the same for all objects, regardless of their mass, and would be equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near Earth's surface.
Objects will accelerate if there is a net force acting on them.
than no one would move. nothing would move. you need to accelerate even the smallest amount to be in motion.
Objects of different masses accelerate at the same rate on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is constant for all objects, regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, so the acceleration is the same for all objects.
The rate is 9.8m/sec
He would wildly accelerate his car when the traffic light turned green. Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate as they move toward the Earth. Living in a foreign country can accelerate the speed at which you learn the native language.
Gravity causes objects to accelerate at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared.
The force of gravity pulls down on all objects here on earth. If objects are allowed to fall, they accelerate downwards.
Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate.
I would expect small, light objects to accelerate more than large, heavy objects when subjected to the same force, due to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). Objects with less mass will experience a greater acceleration for a given force applied to them.
When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
