An object's acceleration is the result of a force being applied to it. When that happens, the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is equal to the force divided by the object's mass, and the direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the force.

How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affects it's motions?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?

The acceleration affects the weight of the person and object


What affects the acceleration?

According to Newton's Second Law, a = F/m. That means that acceleration is caused by a force; that a greater force will result in greater acceleration; and that a larger mass (of the object on which the force acts) will result in less acceleration.


What affects the rate of acceleration of an object?

The net or vector sum of all forces acting on it, in conjunction with the object's mass. Which is correct, but to put it more simply, acceleration is force per unit of mass (a=f/m)


How does gravity affects the acceleration of a falling object?

The bigger the object the faster it causes it to fall until it reaches terminal velocity, then it falls at a constant speed.


Are brakes on bikes accelerators?

Yes. Anything that creates an unbalanced force is an accelerator, as it causes acceleration in the object it affects.


What is the effect of acceleration of the mass to the acceleration of the object?

If you apply the same amount of force to two different objects, the one which has less mass will have larger acceleration. In other words, a heavier object requires more force to get the same acceleration.


What happens to the acceleration of an object's if the force on the object increase?

its acceleration will be increased


What happened to the acceleration of an object if the force on the object increases?

its acceleration will be increased


What happens to acceleration of an object as its mass decreased?

The acceleration of the object increases.


What happens to the acceleration of an object if the force on the object increases?

its acceleration will be increased


What happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases?

Acceleration is a net force that is inversely dependent on mass, therefore if an object's mass decreases, acceleration increases.
