What happens to your weight if acceleration due to gravity somehow doubled?

If acceleration due to gravity doubled, your weight on Earth would also double. This means that the force of gravity pulling you downward would be twice as strong as it is currently, causing you to feel heavier.


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 happens when a force is exerted?

Newton's second law of motion states that force is equal to mass times acceleration, or F = ma. So, if a force is exerted on something that has mass, it will accelerate.


What happens to acceleration when force is doubled?

F=ma, if "a" doubles and "m" is the same, the resultant "F" will double. Acceleration is doubled if force is doubled, a1=f/m; a2= 2f/m= 2a1.


What happens to the acceleration when mass and force are doubled?

Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.


What happens to acceleration if an object's mass is halved and the applied force is doubled?

If an object's mass is halved and the applied force is doubled, the acceleration of the object will quadruple. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass according to Newton's second law (F = ma). Therefore, reducing the mass by half and doubling the force will result in a fourfold increase in acceleration.


What happens to the diameter if the circumference is doubled?

The diameter of a circle is doubled if the circumference is doubled.


What happens to force when area is doubled?

If the area is doubled while keeping the force constant, the pressure exerted by the force will be halved. This is because pressure is defined as force divided by area, so doubling the area will result in a decrease in pressure.


If the mass of an object is doubled what happens to the acceleration of that object?

It would depend on what force is driving the acceleration. If that force is gravity, then acceleration is constant irrespective of variations in mass. All else being equal and presuming the acceleration is by the same exerted force on both the larger and smaller object, the larger object would experience 1/3 the acceleration. (The formula for determining the force is F = ma , the mass times the acceleration. For the same F, and m2 is 3m, then a2 must equal a/3. )


What happens to the speed of a moving object when it is doubled?

Acceleration is doubled. F = ma, where m is mass and a is acceleration. If mass is halved, acceleration is changed by a related quantity, X in this equation. F = (1/2m)(Xa) The coefficients before mass and accelerations have to equal 1 if force stays the same, so... 1/2*X=1 X = 2 therefore, acceleration is doubled.


What happens to the wavelength of a wave that is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled?

If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.


What happens if the base of a triangle is doubled?

If the altitude is not changed, the area would be doubled.
