Of course not. But decreasing the mass of the wagon may

increase the effectiveness of the force used to pull it.

Look at it this way:

Whether I'm trying to pull a truck or a little red wagon, makes no difference

in the maximum amount of force I'm able to apply. But my maximum can move

the little red wagon a lot faster and a lot farther than it can move the truck.

For a given value of net force what would increase acceleration for a system?

To increase acceleration for a given net force, you can decrease the mass of the system. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when net force is constant (F = ma). Alternatively, you can increase the net force acting on the system.


How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?

Force is directly proportional to acceleration when mass is held constant. This relationship is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma). Therefore, as acceleration increases, the force required to produce that acceleration will also increase.


Acceleleration is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to mass what does this mean?

It means that if you increase the force, acceleration will increase. However, if you increase the mass of the object you are accelerating, the acceleration will decrease. It all stems from the basic equation F=ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Rearranging for a gives a=F/m. This means that as m is the denominator, if it doubles and F remains constant, a will halve.


What is the effect of mass on torque Wind turbine blades are lengthy to increase torque and to decrease speed. How can i decrease speed using mass Or can I increase torque by increasing MASS?

Mass has no effect on torque. Torque is the product of distance (from the axis), force, and an angular function. Mass can, however, make the turbine more stable - it will take longer to react to variations in wind. More mass will increase the MOMENT OF INERTIA (rotational inertia).


How do you increase the potential energy of a wagon without increasing its mass?

You can increase the potential energy of a wagon by lifting it to a higher elevation. This increases its gravitational potential energy without changing its mass.

One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?

False. Decreasing the mass of the wagon will not increase the force used to pull it. The force required to pull an object is dependent on its mass, so reducing the mass would actually decrease the force needed.


What does mass have to do with force?

force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). F=m*a. if mass is made subject, m=F/a. hence mass is directly proportional to force. therefore an increase( or decrease) in force means an increase ( or decrease) in force also.


How do you increase the frequency in an oscillating mass-spring system?

You either Decrease mass or increase spring force.


What are two to increase the acceleration of an object?

Decrease the mass, and change the force.


Do you increase or decrease in mass?

you increase or decrease mass by taking the mass out


What are two ways to increase the accerleration of an object?

-- Decrease its mass. -- Increase the net force acting on it.


As the mass of an object incresse the ability to accelerate it using the same amount of force increase or decrease?

It decrease.


What would be the effect on the gravitational force if you increase mass and increase the distance between the masses?

If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.


What are the two ways to increase acceleration of an object?

Decrease the mass, and change the force.


How do you increase and decrease gravity?

To increase gravity, you would need to increase the mass of the object or planet exerting the gravitational force. To decrease gravity, you would need to reduce the mass of the object or planet exerting the gravitational force. Another way to decrease gravity is by increasing the distance between the objects experiencing the gravitational force.


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.


For a given value of net force what would increase acceleration for a system?
