Well, let's see . . .

Let's assume that acceleration INcreases when force DEcreases, and we'll check out this assumption.

If acceleration changes opposite to the change in force, then the less you push on something,
the more it accelerates, until you don't push on it at all, and then its acceleration becomes infinite.

If you wanted to get a car unstuck from a snowdrift, you would STOP pushing on it, and it would
accelerate out of the snow.

If you wanted to bunt a pitch so that it dies and just dribbles out a few feet from the plate,
you'd have to whack it with all your might; if you hit it too easy, with not enough force, it would
go sailing over the outfield fence and you'd have to settle for another darned home run.

Let's see, what else. Oh ... when you're ready to leave for school in the morning, and your backpack
is loaded with every book you own and it weighs about 75 pounds, and the bus is almost here
and you have to pick up the backpack really fast and get out of the house, you would reach down
and just touch one of the straps with your pinky, so that the backpack would jump up off the floor.
If you tugged at it with too much force, it would just slooooowly accelerate up off the floor and
it would take about ten minutes to get up to your shoulder.

Are any of these absurd enough for you ?

It should be pretty obvious that "more force" means "moreacceleration".

What cause acceleration to decrease?

Acceleration can decrease due to friction, air resistance, or an opposing force acting in the opposite direction to the motion. An increase in mass or a decrease in the force applied can also cause acceleration to decrease.


Does acceleration either decrease constantly or increase constantly?

No, in basic physics acceleration depends on Newton's Second Law Net Force equals mass times acceleration


How does a change in force effect accelaration?

An increase in force applied to an object will result in an increase in acceleration, given that the mass remains constant. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object. Conversely, a decrease in force will lead to a decrease in acceleration.


How can mass and force be changed increase acceleration?

To increase acceleration: 1) Increase the force applied on the object, as acceleration is directly proportional to force. 2) Decrease the mass of the object, since acceleration is inversely proportional to mass according to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). Increasing force or decreasing mass will result in a higher acceleration of the object.


What variables affect the acceleration of an object and in what manner do they affect the acceleration?

The acceleration of an object is affected by the force applied to it and its mass. Increasing the force applied to an object will increase its acceleration, while increasing the mass of an object will decrease its acceleration for the same force applied.

What are two to increase the acceleration of an object?

Decrease the mass, and change the force.


How speed increase by applying force?

Applying more force in the direction of travel will increase the acceleration and therefore speed. If more force is applyed opposite to the direction of travel, acceleration will decrease.


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

Decrease the mass, and change the force.


What happens to the acceleration of an object if you increase the force of an object?

From Newton's Second Law of Motion, I know that Fnet=manet. anet is the net acceleration. From this equation, I know that Fnet is proportional to anet. THis means that if I decrease the net force, I decrease the net acceleration. If I increase the net force, I increase the net acceleration. If your Fnet equation is Fnet=Fapp-Ff, then increasing the applied force would also increase the net acceleration. Therefore, more applied fore, more acceleration.


A force that acts on an object does only when the object moves?

A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.

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.


will the shopping cart acceleration increase decrease or stay the same?

That depends on the force applied.
