According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m * a). This means that if the mass of an object increases while the acceleration remains constant, the amount of force required to move that object will also increase proportionally.
For example:
- If you have a mass of 1 kg and apply a force of 10 N, it would accelerate at 10 m/s².
- If you increase the mass to 2 kg and still want it to accelerate at the same rate (10 m/s²), you would need to apply 20 N of force.
In summary, an increase in mass, with constant acceleration, will lead to an increase in the amount of force needed to achieve that acceleration.
