Yes. The equation that relates force to acceleration is very simple:
F = M A ,
or
A = 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 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.
Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
Is acceleration constant or does it change?
Going back to the equation F=m·a you can see that if the force changes but the mass does not, accelleration will change as well. If mass and force do not change, accelleration will be constant.
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)
What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?
Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.
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 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.
Does the acceleration remain constant if the applied force was increasing?
No. Acceleration is proportional to the applied force.
What is the relationship between force acceleration when mass is constant?
force= mass times acceleration
How is acceleration and net force related when mass is constant?
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Constant net force produces constant what?
change in acceleration
What is constant for freely falling body?
Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.
How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?
If acceleration is kept constant but you vary the mass, the force will vary in direct proportion to the mass. If the mass increases, the force will also increase, and if the mass decreases the force will also decrease. Newton's 2nd Law, illustrated by the equation F=ma, illustrates this.

How acceleration and mass are related if the force is constant?
For a given mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on the mass, and is in the same direction as the net force. In other words, the larger the net force acting on an object, the greater its acceleration. When the net force is zero, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity.
