Acceleration is proportional to net force.

That means that acceleration is equal to (net force) times (something).

The 'something' is [ 1 / (the mass of the object being accelerated by the force) ].

An unbalanced force produces?

An unbalanced force produces acceleration on an object by changing its speed or direction. This acceleration occurs in the direction of the unbalanced force, according to Newton's second law of motion.


What can you say about the direction of the acceleration and the force that produces it?

Acceleration always occurs in the direction of the net force acting on an object. If the net force and acceleration have the same direction, the object speeds up; if they have opposite directions, the object slows down. The relationship between acceleration and the force that produces it is described by Newton's second law of motion.


What force produces acceleration?

The force that produces acceleration is called net force. It is the combination of all the forces acting on an object, taking into account both direction and magnitude. When a net force is applied to an object, it accelerates in the direction of that force.


When the resultant force is not zero what does it produces?

When the resultant force is not zero, it produces an acceleration in the direction of the force according to Newton's second law of motion. This acceleration changes the velocity of an object, causing it to either speed up or slow down depending on the direction of the force.


Is the acceleration of an object always in the same direction of the net force?

No, the acceleration of an object is in the direction of the net force applied to it. If the net force is in the same direction as the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the same direction. If the net force is opposite to the object's motion, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction.

What is acceleration force?

In physics there is no such thing as an "acceleration force". A force however will produce an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law: F=ma, or force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass


How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?

Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.


A horizontal force acts a body that is free to move can it produce an acceleration if the force is less then the weight of that body?

Yes it can, and if less force is needed if you eliminate the possibility of friction. You can find many examples of this, but i think this is an excellent opportunity to devise an experiment and practice your scientific methods.


The overall net force acting on an object produces?

in the same direction as the net force, directly proportional to it, and inversely proportional to the object's mass.


What is the relationship between an object's acceleration and the direction of the force on the object?

If an object is increasing in speed, the acceleration is positive and the force is in the direction of travel. If the object is slowing down, the acceleration is negative and the force is acting against the direction of movement.


How an object changes direction when a force is applied to it is called what?

The change in direction of an object when a force is applied to it is called "acceleration." The acceleration of an object depends on the magnitude and direction of the force, as well as the mass of the object.
