Question

A force of5newton gives acceleration of 5ms-1on m1 ans acceleration of 24ns-1 on m2,what acceleration would it give if both the masses are tied up

Answer 1

Answer:

4.137 m/s²

Explanation:

Given :

• A force of 5 Newtons gives an acceleration of 5 m/s² on one object

• A force of 5 Newtons gives an acceleration of 24 m/s² on second object

To find :

• Acceleration produced if both the masses are tied up

Force = mass × Acceleration

First object :

5 = m×5

m = 1 kg

Second object :

5 = m×24

m = 5/24 kg

Both masses are tied up so mass shall be added

Total mass = 1+5/24

Total mass = 24/24 + 5/24

Total mass = 29/24

Force = 5 Newtons

5 = 29/24 × a

5 ×24/29 = a

120/29 = a

a = 4.137 m/s²

The acceleration produced will be equal to 4.137 m/s²
