If there is a higher acceleration what does that mean? Would it mean the object would reach to its terminal velocity faster?

I try to relate this with work... When there is a higher acceleration does that mean there is more work?

anonymous · Answer

It's kinda confusing... Because some objects would have a higher force and a higher mass but the acceleration is less. Yet, more work is done. :s confusing...

anonymous · Answer

Um... Lets put in a analogy it make it easier?

anonymous · Answer

The "ball" example is best fit!

I think you are on to something.  F=ma.

Ball 1 has a mass of 1g
Ball 2 has a mass of 100g
Ball 1 experiences a force of 10N
Ball 2  experience a force of 100N
Both objects travel a distance of 1M

$$W = Fd   ,         F = ma $$

Let me calculate that... Ball 1 a = 10,000m/s
Ball 2 a = 1,000

But, the work done =
B1 = 10J
B2 = 100J

anonymous · Answer

Its takes more energy to move ball 2! Because of its higher mass.
And it takes less energy to move ball 1 because of its mass....
But comparing the amount of energy/ work done Ball 2 is > than Ball 1.

Sorry, physics not my game.

@Jemurray3 help!
I can't fit this into the picture...

anonymous · Answer

well you are relating two objects having two different masses acted with two different forces... ok, so you want to achieve a relation between work spent and the acceleration of a body... am I getting you right? reply for more...

anonymous · Answer

yes, if there is a higher acceleration,  the object would reach to higher velocities faster and faster.  and the terminal velocity would be the speed of light itself.

anonymous · Answer

I realized that acceleration is not the determining factor of work being done.
An object with more "mass" would require more WORK to be done on it, and it would possibility take a lower acceleration like "BALL 2" has more mass, yet more force is being applied and it has MORE energy than ball 1.

Acceleration is related to velocity but not related to Work.
