What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?
Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.
If the mass of an object is increased with no change in the force applied what will be the difference in its acceleration?
What you are wanting to know is found in Newton's Second Law. The equation used is Acceleration = (Net force)/(Mass) or Force equals mass times acceleration; [F = m * a] So, if the mass is increased but the force remains constant, then the acceleration will decrease. (For the same force applied, larger masses experience less acceleration than smaller masses.)
What is the relationship between mass and inertia of an object?
The inertia of a body can be defined as the relunctance of a body to acceleration. The mass of a body can be defined as a measure of the inertia of a body. This is because acceleration = resultant force / mass. So, if mass is greater, the less will be the acceleration of the body and hence the greater the inertia.
The acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on which of these?
an object's mass
How are Force Acceleration and Mass related?
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
why does an object with less mass have larger acceleration?
Whenna given force is applied ,an oobject with greater mass will accelerate less
If the mass of an object is doubled what happens to the acceleration of that object?
It would depend on what force is driving the acceleration. If that force is gravity, then acceleration is constant irrespective of variations in mass. All else being equal and presuming the acceleration is by the same exerted force on both the larger and smaller object, the larger object would experience 1/3 the acceleration. (The formula for determining the force is F = ma , the mass times the acceleration. For the same F, and m2 is 3m, then a2 must equal a/3. )
What is the effect of acceleration of the mass to the acceleration of the object?
If you apply the same amount of force to two different objects, the one which has less mass will have larger acceleration. In other words, a heavier object requires more force to get the same acceleration.
How are the mass of an object and the objects acceleration related?
The mass of an object affects how it responds to an applied force. A larger mass requires a larger force to achieve the same acceleration as an object with a smaller mass. In other words, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass when a constant force is applied.
Acceleration depend on what two things?
Mass and Net force
Why is the relationship of force acceleration and mass fma?
This is easier to visualize if you rearrange, solving for acceleration: a = F/m. What this means is that a larger force will produce a larger acceleration. It also means that, since mass is in the denominator, in the case of a larger mass, there will be less acceleration. In other words, a more massive object is harder to accelerate (it is harder to speed it up or slow it down).
How force affects mass and acceleration?
force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body
Does a smaller object with the same force will accelerate the same than a larger object?
No, a smaller object will accelerate more than a larger object with the same force applied due to its lower inertia. In other words, a smaller object will experience a greater acceleration with the same force compared to a larger object.
Will the mass of an object affect its force?
Yes. The force =mass x acceleration, f=ma. The larger the mass the larger the force.
How does force affect stationary object of different masses?
Force accelerates stationary masses as acceleration a=f/m; theacceleration is inverse to the mass. The smaller the mass the larger the acceleration and the larger the mass the smaller the acceleration.
If you use the same force on less massive object what happened to the acceleration?
Force equals mass times acceleration, so an alternative formula is acceleration equals force divided by mass. Therefore if the mass is decreased, the acceleration goes up. Thus a 100 HP engine on a motor cycle produces more acceleration than the same engine on a car.
How does mass affect accelaration?
According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of an object. This means that the more mass an object has, the more force is required to accelerate it at the same rate as an object with less mass. In other words, a heavier object will accelerate more slowly than a lighter object when the same force is applied.
