Answer:
They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.
Stands for:
a = acceleration
F = Force
m = mass
Formulas:
- F = m x a
- m = F/a
- a = F/m
Terms to remember:
1. Mass - the amount of matter present in an object.
2. Weight - gravitational attraction between the earth and any object on its surface.
3. Gravity - the force of the earth toward the body that produces an acceleration with an approximate value of 9.8 m/s^2
4. Acceleration - the rate at which the velocity of a body changes with time.
