If the mass and acceleration of the volleyball are known, the force acting on it can be found using the above equation.
This equation will tell you how much force is exerted by a bullet, for example, on a target.
No. Force = mass x acceleration.
Acceleration remains the same. Remember that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, or Acceleration equals Force divided by Mass. So, if both Force and Mass double, Force Divided by Mass remains the same.
Force and acceleration are NOT the same. If you apply a net force to an object, it causes the object to accelerate. The amount of acceleration depends on the force and the mass of the object. Force = mass x acceleration.
Force equals mass times acceleration. To change a speed, you must apply some force (either positive or negative) to give the object some acceleration. How quickly the object's speed changes will correspond to the force given divided by the mass of the object. (ie, 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.
No
The volleyball would have a greater acceleration because it has less mass compared to a basketball. According to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma), the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass when the force is constant.
The balloon would have a greater acceleration because it has less mass compared to the volleyball. According to Newton's second law (F = ma), with the same force applied, an object with less mass will have a greater acceleration.
force equals mass times acceleration
F=ma Force equals its mass times its acceleration.
F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration) a = ΣF/m (acceleration equals the net force applied divided by the mass) ΣF = m * a (the net force acting on an object equals the mass of the object times its acceleration)
