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 mass multiplied by the forces of gravity?

The mass multiplied by the force of gravity is known as weight. It is calculated using the formula ( W = mg ), where ( W ) is weight, ( m ) is mass, and ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth). This relationship indicates that an object's weight is directly proportional to its mass and the strength of the gravitational field acting on it.

Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?

Acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This means that increasing the force applied will increase the acceleration, while increasing the mass will decrease the acceleration for a given force.

What does a force cause a mass to do?

A force causes a mass to accelerate in the direction of the force, according to Newton's second law of motion. The acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.


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


When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed or mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?

When acceleration is held constant, mass and force are directly proportional according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). This means that the force required to maintain a constant acceleration increases as the mass of the object increases. Conversely, if force is held constant, acceleration would be inversely proportional to mass.


The amount of acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass?

Yes, that's correct. According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is directly proportional to the force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the object's mass. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be, and the larger the mass of an object, the smaller its acceleration will be for a given force.


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


Are mass and acceleration proportional?

No, mass and acceleration are not directly proportional. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, meaning that an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration, assuming the applied force remains constant.


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 relationship between acceleration, force, and mass?

Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be. Conversely, the greater the mass of an object, the lower its acceleration will be for a given force.
