Question

A force produced an acceleration of a1 body and the same force produced an acceleration of a2 in another body. if two bodies are combined and the same force is applied on the combination, the acceleration is produced in it is

Answer 1

Answer:

(m1a1)/(m1+m2)

Explanation:

Since F(net)=ma

Let the first mass be m1 and the second be m2 and force be F

F=m1a1=m2a2

Since the 2 bodies are combined

=>(m1+m2)A=F...(Allowing the new acceleration to be A)

=>A=F/(m1+m2)

=>m1a1/(m1+m2) OR m2a2/(m1+m2)
