Click For Summary
A constant force acting on an object results in a constant acceleration, as defined by Newton's Second Law, where acceleration is the force divided by mass. If the force is insufficient to overcome static friction, the object will not move despite the applied force. When the net force is positive, the object will accelerate, leading to a change in velocity over time. The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration indicates that while acceleration remains constant under a constant force, velocity will change as a result of that acceleration. Understanding these principles is crucial for analyzing motion in physics.

If a constant force acts on an object, does the acceleration changes or velocity changes?

What does Newton's 2nd Law tell you?
 
If you put a constant force on a object siting on the ground, it may not move because your force is not big enough.

What if the net force is positive. What then?

## \vec a = \frac{\vec F}{m}##
according to this formula (Newton´s II law) if sum of all forces (F) is constant and mass m is constant ,then also acceleration a is also constant.

since ##v=\int (dt \cdot a(t))=\int (dt \cdot F(t))/m## if F≠0 then velocity changes.
 
Abstract The gravitational effects of a Primordial Black Hole (PBH) passing through the human body are examined, with the goal of determining the minimum mass necessary to produce significant injury or death. Two effects are examined: The damage caused by a shock wave propagating outward from the black hole trajectory, and the dissociation of brain cells from tidal forces produced by the black hole on its passage through the human body. It is found that the former is the dominant effect...
