if you increase the force on an object, what happens to its acceleration?

Question

stupid HW

Answer 1

If you increase the force on an object, it's acceleration will increase in proportion F= ma, where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Answer 2

The acceleration increases too. Have you learned Newton's Second law of physics yet? It says F = ma. That means that, assuming the mass stays constant, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration.

Answer 3

If you push a car from standstill you will experience maximum force at 0+ seconds. As you continue pushing and the car is increasing in speed you will experience less and less force till it reaches a maximum velocity. At that point you will experience no force at all to push it.
In order to make it go faster at that point you need a more power body to push it Hence you need more power to make it go faster.

Acceleration is defined as force per unit mass.So what ever happens to force the samething happens to acceleration.

Answer 4

Think about it. Test it by pushing a book across a table. Test it by pushing on a wall.

Think what might happen if the increase in force is temporary.

Think about it if the force is constant.

Think about it with respect to a baseball that is dropped. he force of gravity is relatively constant.
Now figure out the answer.

Answer 5

I am no science major, but if you were to put force on an object, that does not necessary mean acceleration. Even more so if you are pushing it down on a hard surface, would you not be making it heavier, or pushing it up wards, you will be fighting gravity, but forward or back wards would not mean acceleration.
