Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to its mass. In other words, the greater the force applied on an object, the greater its acceleration will be. Similarly, the larger the mass of an object, the smaller its acceleration will be.
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the net force applied on an object by its mass. The formula for acceleration is a = F/m, where a is the acceleration, F is the net force, and m is the mass of the object.
Yes, acceleration is affected by the direction of the force. According to Newton's second law, the net force and acceleration are in the same direction. This means that if the force applied is in the same direction as the object's velocity, the object will speed up. If the force applied is in the opposite direction of the object's velocity, the object will slow down.
The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²). This means that for every second an object is in motion, its velocity will change by a certain number of meters per second.
Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of objects moving through air. This means that it acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion and can slow down its acceleration. The greater the surface area of an object, the greater the air resistance, and the slower its acceleration will be.
