Question

a force of 5n produce an acceleration of 8 metre per second square on a mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 metre per second square on a mass m2 what acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

For the first body,

F=5N

mass=m₁

a=8m/s²

Now, F=ma

So, 5=m₁ * 8

So, m¹=5/8 kg

For second body,

F=5N

mass= m₂

a=24 m/s²

Now, F=ma

So, 5=m₂ * 24

So, m₂=5/24 kg

Combined mass of both bodies, m₁+m₂= 5/8 + 5/24

= (15+5)/24

= 20/24 kg

Now, m= 20/24 kg

F= 5N

a= ?

F=ma

So, 5= 20/24 * a

So, a=5*24/20

So, a= 6m/s²

Thus the acceleration produced will be 6 m/s²
