Assuming constant coefficient of kinetic friction, and ignoring air resistance and relativistic effects,
acceleration is proportional to net force.
Increasing magnitude of net force by a factor of 7.6 causes magnitude of acceleration
to increase by a factor of 7.6.

What does acceleration mean as a science term?
It's the change in velocity, the rate of change (derivative) which is instantaneous velocity. Acceleration can be positive or negative, meaning increased or decreased velocity respectively.
What is a change in velocity in a certain amount of time called?
Acceleration is any change in velocity during a length of time.
Which term explains wheather an objects velocity has increased or decreased over time?
Acceleration (a=v/t where a=acceleration, v=velocity and t=time; or Average acceleration= Δv/Δt, where Δv is the change in velocity and Δt is the change in time) shows the rate of change in velocity over time.If Acceleration (a) is positive, it means that velocity has increased over time and if it is negative, it implies the velocity has decreased over time [also commonly known as deceleration(-a)]
What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?
I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
Can acceleration change with out increase or decrease speed?
yes the 3 types of acceleration are increased speed decrease speed or change in direction.
What does acceleration is uniform mean?
It means that the acceleration does not change.
What does acceleration mean as a science term?
It's the change in velocity, the rate of change (derivative) which is instantaneous velocity. Acceleration can be positive or negative, meaning increased or decreased velocity respectively.
When will you say a body is in uniform acceleration?
uniform acceleration mean that the acceleration doesn't change over the course of time of the time considered for a certain
What is a change in velocity in a certain amount of time called?
Acceleration is any change in velocity during a length of time.
What is the acceleration for linear motion?
Average Acceleration can be verbally defined as the change in velocity in a certain change in time... More simply put: Average Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / (Final Time - Initial Time)
Which term explains wheather an objects velocity has increased or decreased over time?

What is applied to an object by a certain amount the acceleration will change by the same amount?
net force
When will you say a body is in 1 uniform acceleration 2 non uniform acceleration?
Uniform acceleration means that the acceleration doesn't change over the course of time (of the time considered for a certain problem, at least).
What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?
I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.
Is acceleration the change in distance over time?
acceleration is the change in speed in a certain amount of time eg a car goes from 4km/h to 10km/h in 3 seconds, what is its acceleration? 10km/h - 4km/h=6 6/3 secounds=2 acceleration is 2km/h acceleration= change in speed/time
If the mass of an object is increased with no change in the force applied what will be the difference in its acceleration?
What you are wanting to know is found in Newton's Second Law. The equation used is Acceleration = (Net force)/(Mass) or Force equals mass times acceleration; [F = m * a] So, if the mass is increased but the force remains constant, then the acceleration will decrease. (For the same force applied, larger masses experience less acceleration than smaller masses.)
