According to Newton's second law Twice the force results in twice the acceleration.?

Yes, According to Newtons second law: F= Force m=mass a=acceleration. Newton used the formula F= ma. So force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. So if you multiply force by two it would be equal to mass multiplied by acceleration multiplied by two. 2F = 2(ma) Assuming the mass does not change, any multiplication of force will be a direct multiplication of acceleration.


Why is the earths acceleration not equal to and opposite the objects acceleration?

There is no reason it should be the same.Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.To change acceleration a force is required and the change of acceleration depends on the force applied and the mass of the object on which the force is acting.


Do objects have equal acceleration?

no, most objects accelerate differently.


Do objects dropped from greater distance hit with a greater force?

Yes. In the formula P=mv, momentum, which governs the force of the impact, is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the velocity. As the velocity increases, so does the momentum, therefore the greater the height dropped from, the greater the force of impact.


What are Newtons 3 Laws of motion?

Newton's First law of motion: "Objects in constant motion, remain in constant motion - unless acted upon by a force" Newton's Second law of motion: "The force exerted on an object is equal to it's mass, multiplied by the acceleration of the object" Newton's Third law of motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"

What is mass multiplied by gravity?

Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity

Is acceleration a force that can affect an objects velocity?

Firstly, force is equal to mass of the object into it's acceleration, so acceleration is not a force.Next, the change in velocity of a body over time is called acceleration, so yes, acceleration does affecta body's velocity.

Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity either positive or negative. Mass is always positive.

Newtons second law states that force equal to?

Newton's 2nd law is F = ma, Force equals mass times accelerationso a = F/m, acceleration is equal to force divided by mass


Is mass x gravity equal to an objects acceleration?

Well, first let's look at what gravity is. If we consider "gravity" as gravitational force, then force=mass x acceleration, and mass x gravity does NOT equal acceleration. Acceleration is the change of velocity, so an object could accelerate without being affected by gravity, maybe just another force, like jet engines or something. Basically, no.


Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?

If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
