When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
Example of inverse proportion?
Example of inverse proportion is: Density = Mass/Volume Because the formula represents that the density is directly proportional to the mass while density is inversely proportional to volume. Remember that inversely proportional means that if variable A increases, the variable B decreases, and if variable B increases, the variable A decreases.
What type of relationship is displayed by decreased mass and decreased gravity?
Directly proportional
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.
What is the difference between inertia and acceleration?
Inertia and acceleration both relate to Newton's laws. Acceleration is mentioned in his second law. This law states that acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. Inertia on the other hand is the subject of Newton's first law. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force. In the same manner, and object in motion will remain in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force. A definition of acceleration: The increase of velocity over a certain time span, usually written as meters/second^2. A definition of inertia: The desire of an object to remain at a constant velocity, or the resistance to acceleration.
Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
How force affects mass and acceleration?
force is directly proportional to acceleration and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the body
The amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass?
Yes, that is correct.
When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
Is acceleration directly proportional to force or it is inversely proportional to force?
Neither. It's the other way round, in both cases. Newton's Law:F = ma Solving for acceleration: a = F/m
What does newtons 2nd law state?
Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m
Is acceleration directly proportional to mass?
Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. Net force is equal to the mass times acceleration, taking this into consideration we can clearly see that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.By Armah Ishmael Ryesa
What then can you seay about the acceleration of the moving car?
It is directly proportional to the force applied by the engine adjusted for the frictional force, aerodynamic drag, and inversely proportional to the mass of the car.
Does gravitational force depend inversely on mass?
No, it is proportional to mass.
What is the rule for the force of gravity?
The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the mass of the two objects ,between whom the force is acting , and inversely proportional to square of distance between them.
How does mass and speed effect force?
Mass and force are directly proportional, therefore: more mass = greater force (Equation: F = ma). Mass and speed are inversely proportional, so: more mass = lesser speed (Equation: p = mv).
Variation in the value of gravity?
Mass and distance alter gravity Mass is directly proportional to the gravitational force, but distance is inversely proportional. (In other words, greater mass means greater force, and greater distance means less force)
