Since a = F / m, to change a, there must be a change either in the net force applied on the object or in the mass of the object.

What agents would cause a change in centripetal acceleration?

Centripetal Acceleration is the ratio of the square of the velocity and radius ac=v2/r So if we change the velocity of the circulating object or change the radius of the revolution, centripetal acceleration is changed


Does mass need to be changed to newtons to find the acceleration?

Mass can't be changed to newtons. The newton is a unit of force, not mass.In order to find the acceleration, you need to know the mass and the force.Then, the acceleration is (force) divided by (mass).


How do you change centripetal acceleration?

Centripetal acceleration can be changed by altering the speed or direction of an object in circular motion. Increasing the speed will increase the centripetal acceleration, while changing the direction of motion will also change the centripetal acceleration.


Is Acceleration is the magnitude of average velocity?

No, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing. Average velocity, on the other hand, is the total displacement of an object divided by the total time taken.


What 2 ways causes an object's velocity to change?

If an object's speed changes, or it heads off in a new direction, its velocity has changed. Because of friction and gravity 1. acceleration 2. deceleration 3. change of direction


Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?

No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.


Does acceleration change when time changes?

Acceleration can change as time changes if there is a change in the velocity of the object. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so any change in velocity will result in a change in acceleration.


When does an object's acceleration change?

Acceleration is change of velocity / time.


Does change in derection cause accerelation?

In order to have a change in direction, per Newton's laws of motion, you have to apply a force. If you have a force, then you have acceleration. Thus, a change in direction is caused byacceleration.


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.


How do you find the acceleration?

Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)


How is acceleration related to the change in speed?

A change in speed (and/or direction) is acceleration.
