Question

a constant force of 5 Newton can produce an acceleration of 1 metre per second on the body of mass m1and 2 metre per second on the body of mass M2 if the both masses are tied together and the same force is applied then what will be the acceleration of system​

Answer 1

Explanation:

F=ma

a=F÷m

a=5÷(m1+m2)

If both bodies are connected the acceleration remains the same because force applied on both the bodies is same

Answer 2

Solution:

Force applied on the body = 5N

Mass of 1st body = m1

Mass of 2nd body = m2.

Acceleration of the 1st body =\frac{1 m}{S^{2}}

Acceleration of the 2nd body =\frac{2 m}{s^{2}}

According to Newton,

Force= mass multiplied by acceleration.

Or, F = ma

So 5 =m1×1  

Also, 5 = m2×2

Therefore,

m1 × 1= m2 × 2  

Or  

m1= 2m2  

Then, if the force is applied on the bodies tied,

F = M a

5= (m 1+m 2) \times a

= 3m2 × a  

Then, a = 5 / 3m2

The acceleration of the system will be 5 / 3m2.
