Since acceleration = force / mass, it will fall as mass increases.

Progressive loss of mass is much more likely to occur in real life - for instance with a rocket, which burns fuel as it goes. In this case, acceleration will increase.

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 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.


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.


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 do you think will happen to the cart's acceleration when it is pulled with a constant net force?

The cart's acceleration will be directly proportional to the net force applied to it. If the force remains constant, the acceleration will also remain constant, assuming no other external factors are affecting the cart's motion.

How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?

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


What will the mass and acceleration produce if the applied force is constant?

If the applied force is constant, the acceleration will also be constant. To know the actual amount of acceleration, you divide the force by the mass.


What happens to the acceleration if the force applied is increased three times?

Assuming the mass remains constant, the acceleration will be tripled as well.


If we double the force what happens to the acceleration?

If force is doubled and the mass remains constant, acceleration will also double. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to 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.


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 happens to force to keep mass the same?

If force is applied to an object and the object's mass remains constant, the acceleration of the object will change. According to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), if the mass is constant and the force increases, the acceleration will also increase. Conversely, if the force decreases, the acceleration will decrease.


A cart of a certain mass has a certain net force exerted on it and its acceleration is 4 ms2 what happens to the acceleration if the cart's mass doubled force?

If the cart's mass is doubled, its acceleration would be halved if the force remains constant. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, so an increase in mass would result in a decrease in acceleration when force is held constant.


Is a constant force necessary for a constant acceleration?

Yes. The equation that relates force to acceleration is very simple:F = M A ,orA = F / M .The acceleration is directly proportional to the force, and if the force doesn't change,then the acceleration doesn't change. (' M ' is the mass of the thing that's being'forced' to accelerate.)So constant force produces constant acceleration, and is the only way to do it.


What happens to an objects accelertion if the force on it increases and the mass remains constant?

If the force on an object increases while its mass remains constant, the object's acceleration will also increase. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to the force acting on the object, according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma).


Does the acceleration remain constant if the applied force was increasing?

No. Acceleration is proportional to the applied force.
