Question

A force F1 acting on a 4.0 kg body produces an acceleration of 5.0 m/s^2. Another force F2
acting on a 10.0 kg body produces an acceleration of 8.0 m/s^2. The ratio F2/F1 =​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In 1st case

mass, m1 = 2kg

and

acceleration, a1 = 2.5 m/s²

So, F1 = 2 × 2.5 = 5N

In 2nd case

m2 = 5kg

and

a2 = 2m/s²

So, F2 = 5 × 2 = 10N

Therefore, F1 / F2 = 5/10 = 1/2
