What is the relation between mass and acceleration when you keep the force constant?

For a constant external force applied on an object, the more massive the object is the less its acceleration.
That is , mass and acceleration are inversely proportional:
as one increases, the other decreases.
Newton's Second Law of Motion
The net external force on a body is equal to the product of the body's mass and acceleration.
Fnet =mass* acceleration
This law shows the inverse relationship between mass and acceleration.

∙ 14y agoBy Netwon's Second Law we know that F=ma. Thus if you keep mass constant we have that F is proportional to a.
this means that if you increase the Force by some factor, acceleration will increase by the same factor. The same applies for decreasing force by some factor.
ie. If you double the force acting on an object, the acceleration will double as well. If you cut the force by a half then acceleration will also cut by half.

What is the relation of the force and inertia?
The greater the inertia, the greater is the force required to produce a constant acceleration.(F=ma). But in general, acceleration is not taken constant, in this case, there is no relation between force and inertia.
What is the relationship between force acceleration when mass is constant?
force= mass times acceleration
What is the relationship between net force and acceleration when mass is constant?
F = m a So its a constant.
What kind of force produces a constant acceleration?
a constant force.
How does the mass vary with acceleration at constant force?
F=ma, force = mass x acceleration. Therefore, more mass means more force is required.
What is the relation of the force and inertia?
The greater the inertia, the greater is the force required to produce a constant acceleration.(F=ma). But in general, acceleration is not taken constant, in this case, there is no relation between force and inertia.
What is the relation between force and acceleration on the basis of graph?
Use Newton's Second Law. Specifically, if you assume that the mass remains constant, then force will be proportional to acceleration. Force divided by mass yields acceleration (without friction, etc.).
What is the relationship between force acceleration when mass is constant?
force= mass times acceleration
How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?
Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.
What is the relation between force and acceleration if you keep the mass the same?
It is linear. The acceleration will be proportional to the force. F = mA
What is the relation connecting acceleration and gravitational force?
The same as the relation between acceleration and any other force. Force = (mass) x (acceleration) If the force happens to be gravitational, then the acceleration is down, and the formula tells you the size of the acceleration. If the acceleration is down and there are no rocket engines strapped to the object, then it's a pretty safe bet that the force is gravitational, and the formula tells you the size of the force.
What will the mass and acceleration produce if the applied force is constant?
If the applied force is constant, the acceleration will also be constant. To know the actual amount of acceleration, you divide the force by the mass.
What is the relationship between net force and acceleration when mass is constant?
F = m a So its a constant.
What kind of force produces a constant acceleration?
a constant force.
How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?
There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.
Is a constant force necessary for a constant acceleration?
Yes. The equation that relates force to acceleration is very simple:F = M A ,orA = F / M .The acceleration is directly proportional to the force, and if the force doesn't change,then the acceleration doesn't change. (' M ' is the mass of the thing that's being'forced' to accelerate.)So constant force produces constant acceleration, and is the only way to do it.
How is force related to mass at contant accelaration?
Directly. (F = m a) If a (acceleration) is a constant then the relationship between farce and mass is constant.
