Question

What is the relation between force and acceleration?

Answer 1

Relation between force and acceleration:

1. When a force is applied to a body its velocity changes.
2. It has been found that acceleration produced in a body is directly proportional to the unbalanced force applied to the body and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.

$\text{Acceleration produced in a body}\propto \frac{\text{Force applied in a body}}{\text{Mass of a body}}$

3. From the relation, it is clear that when we increase acceleration, force is also increased.

4. The force acts in the direction of the acceleration.
