How is motion affected by change in mass of an object and forces applied?

Newtons second law says that the acceleration of an object (produced by a net force) is directly proportional to that magnitude of the net force. E.g. F = ma
where F is the net force of an object, m is mass and a is acceleration.
For example, if an object had a large mass, there would have to be more force in order to move it than if it was lighter.
In a linear motion, if you pushed two objects, one slightly larger than the other, with the same force, the acceleration of the smaller object would be bigger than the larger one. So the motion (change in position over time), of the larger object would be seen as lesser than the smaller one (in a situation where both forces are equal).

Which of the following natural factors is likely to support the formation of an oceanic island?

stepan [7]

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>

12) Does the label “centripetal force” ever appear in an FBD?

Murrr4er [49]

"Though a force, or a resulting sum of forces, may be centripetal, there is not an actual "Centripetal Force" that would appear on an FBD. Since an FBD is a diagram of physical forces at work upon a body, and a centripetal force is not the reaction of some physical object upon another, it would not be proper to show it. You might have a tension force, a weight force, a normal force, electric forces, magnetic forces, or any number of reactions, but actually labeling any of them "centripetal" would be unconventional".
