How would the observed value of acceleration be affected if the falling body used were heavier?
Your question describes it as a "falling body", so I'm assuming that you're asking about a body with no force on it except for the gravitational force. This is an important assumption. If it's true, then the mass (weight) of the falling body has no effect at all on its acceleration. Except for the effect of air resistance, all bodies fall with the same acceleration.
What else can I help you with?
How would the observed value of the acceleration of a block be affected if the one used is heavier?
From f = m*a, a = f/m, so if the force remains constant and the mass increases, the acceleration will decrease. But if the block is on an incline and the force is provided by gravity, the force will increase directly proportional to the mass of the block, and acceleration will remain the same.
How would the observed value of the acceleration be affected if the falling body used were heavier?
It's a strange and fascinating fact that in asking your question, you've used EXACTLY the same wording as another person, who posted EXACTLY the same question here on WikiAnswers, did ... and both of your questions apparently refer to the same drawing or picture or previous description that neither of you has included with your question. It's almost as if the two of you are either identical twins separated at birth, or else both trying to get WikiAnswers volunteers to do your homework or take your test for you. Fascinating! Anyhow, since you mention "the falling body", we think you're actually asking whether heavier objects fall with the same or different accelerations compared to lighter ones. The answer is that as long as you test all of them on the same planet, and they don't run into too much air, the lightest feather and the heaviest battleship, and everything in between, all fall with the same exact acceleration.
Why does gravity make falling objects fall faster?
Gravity accelerates falling objects at a constant rate (9.8 m/s^2 near Earth's surface) regardless of mass. This means all objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum, reaching the ground at the same time. The perception of heavier objects falling faster is likely due to air resistance, not gravity itself.
What effect does the mass of a rocket have on its acceleration?
A heavier rocket will have a lower acceleration compared to a lighter rocket, assuming the same amount of force is applied. This is because the heavier rocket will require more force to overcome its inertia and accelerate.
What affects the acceleration?
According to Newton's Second Law, a = F/m. That means that acceleration is caused by a force; that a greater force will result in greater acceleration; and that a larger mass (of the object on which the force acts) will result in less acceleration.

Which is heavier seawater or freshwater?
Salt water is heavier, as it has salt disovled in it. This can be observed in some underwater caves.
Why the acceleration of a car is reduced when it tows a caravan?
because it's heavier
Why do astronauts feel heavier during launch?
Astronauts feel heavier during launch because of the upward motion of the spacecraft. This has the effect of adding extra "g's," or gravity forces, making everything seem heavier while the thrust is occurring.

Does the mass of an object change the rate of acceleration?
yes it does it makes it heavier which in turn slows acceleration unless more force is added to move the object
How is the gravity between two objects affected by their masses?
The one that is heavier
Does the weight effect the period of a pendulum?
Yes, the period of a pendulum is not affected by the weight of the pendulum bob. The period is determined by the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. A heavier pendulum bob will swing with the same period as a lighter one of the same length.
Do falling leaf have less momentum than falling pinecone?
Yes, a falling leaf has less momentum than a falling pinecone. This is because momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and velocity, and pinecones are typically heavier and denser than leaves, causing them to have greater momentum when falling.
