Acceleration is a vector, meaning each acceleration has both magnitude and direction. The resultant of vectors is basically the net acceleration on the object expressed as a single vector. For example, if there are two vectors each with a magnitude of 2 meters/(seconds squared) acting on an object and these vectors were placed on the x and y axes then you could represent this system of 2 vectors 90 degrees apart each with a magnitude of two meters/(seconds squared) as one vector of 45 degrees with a magnitude of 2 times the square root of 2 meters/(seconds squared).
What else can I help you with?
How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?
The acceleration of a body is inversely proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the resultant force acting on it, as described by Newton's second law of motion: F = ma. This means that a lighter body will accelerate more for a given force compared to a heavier body.
When the resultant force is not zero what does it produces?
When the resultant force is not zero, it produces an acceleration in the direction of the force according to Newton's second law of motion. This acceleration changes the velocity of an object, causing it to either speed up or slow down depending on the direction of the force.
What has a resultant force of zero?
it happens when an object has an equivalent forward and back ward force
How do you work out resultant force?
by subtracting the smallest number from the biggest.
What is resultant torque of a couple?
The resultant torque of a couple is the vector sum of the individual torques produced by the two equal and opposite forces that make up the couple. It is the product of the force magnitude and the perpendicular distance between the forces. The resultant torque of a couple is constant and does not cause linear acceleration but only rotational motion.
How do you work out the resultant force?
Acceleration x Mass

How does the resultant force relate to the acceleration of the boat?
resultant force is the overall size of force acting on the object. the acceleration increases the amount of newton so the resultant becomes increased. the force realating to the accelaration of the boat is the amount of increasiment in the newtons. hope this helps everyone please appreciate this time as i have sprent an hour for this answer
What is the velocity on an object with no net force?
When there is no resultant force there is no acceleration therefore the velocity will stay the same.
When the resultant force is not zero what does it produces?
When the resultant force is not zero, it produces an acceleration in the direction of the force according to Newton's second law of motion. This acceleration changes the velocity of an object, causing it to either speed up or slow down depending on the direction of the force.
Does force change velocities of bodies?
Newton's second Law states that when a resultant force acts on an object with constant mass, the object will accelerate and move in the direction of the resultant force. The product of the mass and the acceleration of the object is equal to the resultant force. The direction of the acceleration has the same direction as the resultant force. If the force stated in this question is always greater than the opposing force (i.e. friction, air resistance...) the body will continue to accelerate and its velocity will increase.
What has a resultant force of zero?
it happens when an object has an equivalent forward and back ward force
How do you calculate the magnitude of acceleration of a block that i s 4 kilogram and force f1 equals 12 newtons and f2 equals 12 newtons?
Work out the resultant force by either using trigonomatry or drawing a scale diagram and resolving the vectors. Once you have worked out the resultant force, use newtons 2nd law equation F=MA. F is the resultant force, M is the mass, and A is the acceleration
What does it mean when you say that the acceleration produced is inversely proportional to mass?
This is true only if the resultant force is constant. From Newton's second law, F = ma where F is resultant force m is mass and a is acceleration a = F/m => a is inversely proportional to m This means that when m increases, a decreases and when m decreases, a increases.
If forces are unbalanced is there acceleration?
yes, since the forces are acting on just one body, the mass (m) in the equation F=ma is not changing, which would mean that the two accelerations (a) would have to be different. If the two accelerations are different then there is total acceleration in one direction (the resultant acceleration).
How do you work out resultant force?
by subtracting the smallest number from the biggest.
If the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the velocity what happens to the velocity of the object?
a = F/m, where a is acceleration, F is net force, and m is mass in kilograms.
