Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

With the same force applied, a smaller mass has greater acceleration.

A Baseball has less mass than a shot has, so the same force gives it greater acceleration.

What law explains why a car accelerates faster than a truck?

The law of inertia, as described by Newton's second law of motion, explains why a car accelerates faster than a truck. This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. Since cars are typically lighter than trucks, they can accelerate faster when the same force is applied.


What is the relationship between the torque on a pulley with mass and its rotational motion?

The torque on a pulley with mass affects its rotational motion by determining how quickly it accelerates or decelerates. A greater torque will cause the pulley to rotate faster, while a smaller torque will result in slower rotation.


What idea explains that molecules of an object military be faster as the object is heated?

As an object is heated, its molecules gain more kinetic energy, causing them to move faster. This increase in molecular motion results in higher average speeds of the molecules, which is why the object feels hotter to touch.


When an object accelerates what about its motion changes?

When an object accelerates, its velocity changes. This can mean either speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The rate at which its velocity changes is determined by the magnitude of the acceleration.


How does force lead to motion?

A shove on an open door will force it into movement (motion) and it will close. cw: Mass moves at a constant rate (including zero) when there is no force applied to it. With a force applied, the mass accelerates. Accelerates means it changes its motion.

Why do you feel pressed back into the seat of a car when it accelerates?

Inertia explains the feeling of getting pushed back in your car seat as the car begins to accelerate because as the car accelerates your body want to resist the forward motion the car is 'pulling' you in. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist motion


Why are you pressed backward against the seat when your car rapidly accelerates?

Inertia explains the feeling of getting pushed back in your car seat as the car begins to accelerate because as the car accelerates your body want to resist the forward motion the car is 'pulling' you in. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist motion.


How does apparent force affect the motion of an object?

Accelerates the motion of an object.


When an object accelerate what can it do?

When an object accelerates it can change its speed or direction of motion. When it accelerates without changing its direction of motion, it can cover any distance in less time.


When a object accelerates in the same direction as its motion it has?

When an object accelerates in the same direction as its motion, it is experiencing positive acceleration. This means its speed is increasing over time.
