Question

a force of 5 Newton produces an acceleration of 8 metre per second square on mass M1 and M2 what acceleration at the same force provide if both masses are tied together

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration when both masses are tied together is 4 metres per second square

Step-by-step explanation:

F = ma

5 = M1*8

=>M1 = 5/8 kg

Also,

5 = M2*8

=> M2 = 5/8 kg

=> M1 = M2

Total mass when tied together = M1 + M2

= M1 + M1

= 2(M1) ( substituting M2 as M1 as they are equal)

Now,

F = ma

=> 5 = 2(M1)*a

=> 5 = 2( 5/8)*a

=> 5 = (10/8)*a

=> a = 5*8/10

=> a = 4 m/s^2
