Question

A force causes an acceleration of 10 m s2 in a body of
mass 500 g. What acceleration will be caused by the
same force in a body of mass 5 kg ?
Ans. 1 m 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let a' be the acceleration which force F (=5N) cause on a body of mass, m' = 5 kg. Then, a' = F/m'. Or, a' = (5/5) ms-2. Or, a' = 1 ms-2.

Explanation:

We, know that F=ma

F=0.5×10=5N

Now, mass = 5kg

F=ma

a=

m

f

⇒a=

5

5

=1m/s

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given , a= 10m-s²

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀m=500g = 0.5kg

•°• force = mxa

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 0.5x10=5N

ATQ,

another mass = 5kg

Force = 5N

a=F/m = 5/5=1m-s²

•°• acceleration = 1 m-s²
