Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: Force = mass * acceleration.

So, for a fixed mass, if acceleration increases, the force causing the acceleration has to be increasing too.

==========================

The force is determined by the machine or the muscle that's applying the force.

The mass of an object has no effect on it. You can easily apply the same force

to a battleship, a brick wall, or a little red wagon.

The response to the force (acceleration) is determined by the mass, and also by

any other forces that may also be acting on it at the same time.

What will happened when the angle of a ramp is increased?

If angled downward while increased, acceleration is increased also, as in if something were sliding down the ramp, it would go faster if angle downward is increased.


The angle formed by a horizontal line?

The angle formed by a horizontal line is 180o.


Why if you increase the angle of the inclined plane the acceleration of the trolley will increase?

If the angle is increased, the tangential component of the weight will increase, while the normal component - the one that causes friction - will decrease.


Why does the acceleration of an object rolled down an incline increase as the angle of incline increases?

The contribution of the acceleration of gravity in the direction of motion increases as the angle of the incline increases. Or in other words, as the angle between the direction of motion and the force of gravity goes to zero, the acceleration of the object goes to the gravitational acceleration. a = g cos(theta) Where theta is the angle between the direction of motion and verticle, which is in fact (theta = 90 - angle of the incline)Where a is the acceleration of the object down the incline plane and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Theta is the angle between the direction of motion of the accelerating object and the acceleration of gravity. Initially, the angle between a and g is 90 degrees (no incline) and therefore g contributes nothing to the objects acceleration. a = g cos(90) = 0 As the angle of the inclined is increased, the angle between a and g approaches zero, at which point a = g. With no other forces acting upon the object, g is its maximum acceleration.


Horizontal as opposed to at an angle?

Horizontal is an angle. Angles are reference measurements to another line or plane.


What is vertical and horizontal line?

horizontal lines are lines which may be at the angle of 00,1800,3600.if vertical lines stand on horizontal lines it is in the angle of 900


Does the angle you throw at affect the acceleration in either direction?

No. Regardless of where you throw the ball, its vertical acceleration is always roughly 9.8 m/s2 downward after it leaves your hand, and its horizontal acceleration is always roughly zero. The reason we have to say "roughly" is because of the air resistance that the ball runs into.


What is the angle between the ramp and the horizontal?

The angle of inclination.
