What is true meaning of the law of acceleration?

If you mean Newton's 2nd law which states that a force causes a mass to accelerate.

Acceleration measures how fast your velocity changes.

I will give you an example.

If you know a child with a wagon, this could be fun. The child is sitting on the wagon. Right now the child is at rest (velocity =0). He does not like being at rest, so he asks you to push him. As you push him he giggles, oh what fun. He is now moving (v = 6 m/s, not 0). Your friend said, "Do that again, and I will time how many seconds it takes for you to get him going that fast." It took 2 seconds for you to reach a velocity of 6 m/s. That means you were accelerating at a rate of 3 m/s each second.

When you push the wagon, you exert a force, which causes the child and wagon to accelerate.

Newton's 2nd law states that a force causes a mass to accelerate

1) Your push is the force.

2) The child and wagon are the mass.

3) The acceleration is the result.

As a formula, Force = mass * acceleration

What is the law of force and acceleration and what does it show?

The law states that Force = Mass * Acceleration, and that is what the law shows.


True of false The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the net force acting on it?

False. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. __________________________________________________ The acceleration of a body is "inversely" proportional to its mass.


Is it true that the second law of motion states that opposing forces always balance out?

No, the second law of motion, also known as Newton's second law, states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In other words, the net force acting on an object determines its acceleration, not opposing forces balancing out.


What True or false F ma represents Newtons second law of motion?

True. The equation ( F = ma ) represents Newton's second law of motion, where ( F ) is the net force acting on an object, ( m ) is the mass of the object, and ( a ) is the acceleration produced by that force. This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.


An apple acceterates as it fall from tree what law is that?

The law that describes the acceleration of an apple falling from a tree is Newton's Second Law of Motion. This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Both speed and acceleration include the direction of an objects motion true or false?

This is not true. Acceleration includes direction, but speed does not. Speed in a particular direction is called velocity.

Is acceleration directly proportional to force?

It isn't. It is proportional to acceleration. This follows from momentum conservation which is a deeper law than Newton's second law (which implies the same of course, but Newton's second law is strictly not true at high speeds). To give an even deeper, and possibly incomprehensible but still true, answer: momentum conservation is a result of the requirement that the laws of nature are the same at every point in space.
