How would weight affect the acceleration rate of moving object?

Question

physics report...

Answer 1

Both weight and acceleration are simply “effects” created by the action of a force or forces being exerted on a body. Weight not affect the acceleration.

Answer 2

Newton's 2nd law: Force = mass*acceleration

Force = Weight*acceleration/g

a = F*g/Weight

So for the same force, more the weight/mass, lesser the acceleration which is quite intuitive.

Answer 3

generally....weight shouldn't affect the acceleration rate...all objects accelerate to the ground at 9.8 m/s squared....however as we live on earth, denser objects will fall to the earth faster than lighter objects because they can overcome air resistance....like if u go to the moon and drop a feather and a bowling ball, they will both land at the same time (because there's no air resistance!). However here on earth, heavier objects will drop faster than the lighter ones because they can overcome drag better than lighter objects (they are more dense and have less spaces between particles)

Answer 4

depends on where you are. space? earth?

newtons law.  "an object in motion, stays in motion, unless acted upon a greater force".. which here is gravity.  Weight would have nothing to do about it. unless by weight you mean gravity.  you say acceleration? whats making it accelerate? an engine? a fan?

theres alot of things to put into perspective

hope this helps

Answer 5

there is probably a formula for that but since i've never been in physics class i get to learn what i want. the down side is i've gotten to clean toilets for the ones that did.

my guess is it would take more energy to speed up a heavier object but it's momentum would have to be considered? better wait on a better answer.

Answer 6

the heavier something is, the more force is required to move it.  also the faster something moves, the more energy is required to move it.  that's about all i remember from physics.
