Question

a mass A 50 A force of 5N produces an acceleration of 8m/s on my and acceleration of 24 m/s² on mass my. What acceleration would the same forice provide if both the masses are tied together?​

Answer 1

Answer:

For the first body,

F=5N

mass=m₁

a=8m/s^2

Now, F=ma

    So, 5=m₁ * 8

   So,  m^1=5/8 kg

For second body,

F=5N

mass= m₂

a=24 m/s^2

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/s^2

Thus the acceleration produced will be 6 m/s^2
