Question

A little car of mass M1 has a maximum acceleration of 2.57m/s^2 when applying a force F1. What is the new maximum acceleration of the little car if it tows another car that has the same mass M1 and the same applied force F1?

Answer 1

In order to solve this we can use Newton's Second law (F = ma)

For the first part we can write the above equation like below,

F1 = M1 x 2.57 ------------------------------(1)

For the Second part we can write the above equation like below,

F1 = 2M1 x a    -------------------------------(2)

By equaling the above two equations,

M1 x 2.57 = 2M1 x a

a  = 2.57/2

   = 1.285 m/s^2
