Explain how acceleration produces effects just like gravity?

Acceleration and gravity both produce a force on objects that causes them to move. In the case of gravity, this force pulls objects towards the center of mass. Acceleration can also make objects seem as if they are being "pushed" in a particular direction, altering their motion in a way that is akin to the effects of gravity.


How did changing the mass of the marble change velocity and acceleration values?

From the equation F=ma, fixing F (force) as a constant, changing m(mass) effects directly to a(acceleration). Increasing mass, acceleration drops, decreasing mass, acceleration increases. Acceleration= change in velocity/ time.


What happens when you put a negative acceleration and positive acceleration together?

You add them. For example, if a block is accelerating to the right at 2 m/s2 but is being slowed by friction accelerating the block to the left at 1 m/s2, then you can add the accelerations--positive is right and negative is left. The net acceleration would be 1 m/s2 to the right.


What is the difference between tangential and radial acceleration in terms of their effects on an object's motion?

Tangential acceleration affects an object's speed, causing it to speed up or slow down along its path of motion. Radial acceleration, on the other hand, affects the direction of an object's motion, causing it to change its path or turn.


If you removed air resistance would objects fall with constant acceleration?

Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth fall with the same constant acceleration, regardless of their mass/weight.

What are the effects of force on a mass?

The effects of force on a mass is acceleration of the mass.


Can gravitational acceleration be reduced artificially?

No. Gravitational Acceleration is a constant and is a function of mass. The effects of the constant upon another mass can be altered but the acceleration itself will remain the same.


What are some effects of Earth's gravity?

object to fall with an approximate acceleration of 9.8 seconds.

Positive acceleration differ from negative acceleration?

Yes. Mathematically, they have opposite signs. So they are opposing vectors. In terms of physics, they represent the effects of forces acting in opposite directions.


What is the effect of mass of freely falling body on the gravitational acceleration?

No effect whatsoever. Without air to interfere with the effects of gravity, a small feather and a large rock fall with the same acceleration.


What are the effects of acceleration due to gravity on the time period of a pendulum?

The period of a pendulum (in seconds) is 2(pi)√(L/g), where L is the length and g is the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity increases, the period decreases, so the smaller the acceleration due to gravity, the longer the period of the pendulum.


Does diabetic vestibular neuropathology go away?

No, but you could moderate its effects and acceleration by systematic diabetic care and control.


Discussion on effects of force?

If you search Wikianswers, you can find lots of questions and answers on force, weight, acceleration, work, and energy.


Does the river volta have any minerals in it?

In the areas where river contribution was a major process, the effects are manifested by an acceleration of shoreline retreat.
