F=ma, if F is constant and m is constant, then a is constant... its acceleration.

What is the magnitude of force acting on a body moving with constant velocity?

Certainly not. An object has momentum on account of its motion, which depends on its mass and its velocity. Force may be involved in the object's motion, but doesn't need to be. If we let the discussion become somewhat flabby, we can imagine a constant force applied to an object, and asked what happens to the object's momentum. An object with a constant force acting on it exhibits constant acceleration in the direction of the force. In that situation, the object's speed, and therefore its momentum, are proportional to the time the force continues to act on it.


Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?

Changing an object's direction without affecting speed requires a force that acts perpendicular to the object's velocity, such as centripetal force or gravitational force. This force causes the object to change direction while continuing at a constant speed. Other forces acting parallel to the object's velocity can change its speed as well as its direction.


What is Motion without acceleration?

Motion without acceleration is when an object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. In this scenario, the object's velocity remains constant and there is no change in its speed or direction.


If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


What are the condition for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity?

The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.

Constant net force produces constant what?

Acceleration. When a constant net force is applied to an object, it will experience a constant acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion.


What is an influence that produces a change in an object?

Force is an influence that produces a change in an object.


What kind of force produces a constant acceleration?

A constant acceleration is typically produced by a constant force applied to an object. According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it.


Can a force change a mass of an object?

No, a force cannot change the mass of an object. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that remains constant regardless of the force applied to it. The force can change the object's velocity or acceleration, but not its mass.


If an object's mass stays constant a net force on the object will cause a change in what?

the acceleration of the object.


What kind of motion does a constant force produce on an object of fixed mass?

A constant force applied to an object of fixed mass will result in the object experiencing constant acceleration. This means the object will change its velocity at a constant rate in the direction of the applied force.


Can force change mass?

Force does not change mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of the force applied to it. Force can change an object's motion or shape, but not its mass.


Can a balanced force change the state of rest or motion of an object?

No, a balanced force does not change the state of rest or motion of an object. A balanced force keeps an object at a constant state of rest or motion, meaning there is no change in velocity.


What is the effect of a constant force on speed?

A constant force will cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the force, leading to an increase in speed over time. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration and the faster the object's speed will increase. If the force is removed, the object will continue to move at a constant speed due to its inertia.


An object maintains a constant acceleration unless there is a change in mass applied force air resistance any?

An object will maintain a constant acceleration as long as the net force acting on it remains constant. This net force takes into consideration changes in mass, applied force, and air resistance. Any change in these factors will result in a change in acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion.


What are the condition for an object stay at rest keep moving at constant velocity?

An object will remain at rest if the net force acting on it is zero. An object will continue to move at a constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero and there is no external force to change its velocity.


What happens to an object if you change its mass and the amount of force applied to it?

If you increase the mass of an object and keep the force constant, the acceleration of the object will decrease because the force-to-mass ratio decreases. Conversely, if you increase the force applied to an object while keeping the mass constant, the acceleration of the object will increase because the force-to-mass ratio increases.
