If you triple the net force acting on a moving object how will its acceleration be affected?

This relationship between Force, mass and acceleration can be described in the law of F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Therefore if the mass is tripled, in order for the Force to remain the same, the acceleration must be reduced by a factor of 3.

if F is the original net force and m is the original mass then the resulting acceleration becomes
a = 3F/3m the 3's cancel and you are left with a= F/m, which the original acceleration.
Therefore the original and the resulting accelerations do not differ.

∙ 11y agoThe acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the force being applied on it. The equation that relates these two variables is:
F = ma
which is basically Newton's Second Law of Motion.
If the force on a given object triples, its acceleration will then become (3F/m). It is then evident that the acceleration increases by a factor of three, so to answer your original question:
IF THE FORCE APPLIED ON AN OBJECT TRIPLES, THE ACCELERATION THAT THE OBJECT EXPERIENCES ALSO TRIPLES.

a = 3f/m

What happens to an object's acceleration as the size of the force acting on the object increases?
F=m.a , a=F/m; acceleration is directly proportional with force. acceleration increase while force increase.
If an object starts to accelerate?
If an object moved with constant acceleration it's velocity must ?
How do unbalanced forces affect motion?
-- An unbalanced group of forces on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force. -- If an object is not moving, then the group of forces on it must be balanced, else it would be accelerated.
What happens to the acceleration of an objects when the mass is cut in half?
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it. So if the force is reduced by half, the acceleration will also be halved. Of course, it will still be accelerating in the same direction as before, but not as quickly.
If forces are unbalanced is there acceleration?
yes, since the forces are acting on just one body, the mass (m) in the equation F=ma is not changing, which would mean that the two accelerations (a) would have to be different. If the two accelerations are different then there is total acceleration in one direction (the resultant acceleration).
When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
What would happen if you doubled the force acting on a moving object?
If you doubled the force on a moving object you would double its acceleration.
What is the result of a force acting on a moving object over a period of time?
The object will experience acceleration in the direction of the force.
What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?
An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.
What is the result of balanced forces acting on an object?
The object's acceleration is zero ... it continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
The force acting upon an object the greater the acceleration of the object?
The larger the force acting upon an object, the greater the acceleration of the object.
How do you calcuclate the acceleration of a moving obect?
how do you calculate the acceleration of a moving object.
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object is acceleration?
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object's acceleration is zero.
How are velocity and acceleration different?
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
What describes an object with constant velocity?
Constant speed, moving in a straight line, zero acceleration, zero net force acting on it.
What does the term balance mean?
If you add up all the forces acting on an object, they are balanced if they equal zero. (They cancel each other out). If the forces acting on a object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object is zero. It may still be moving, but it is not accelerating. An object that is not accelerating, (the sum of the forces acting on it is zero), is in equilibrium.
