Question

An object of mass 16 kg is moving
with an acceleration of 3 m/s2
Calculate the applied force. If the
same force is applied on an object of
mass 24 kg, how much will be the
acceleration? (Ans: 48 N, 2 m/s2)​

Answer 1

Given :-

• Mass of an object → 16 kg
• Acceleration → 3 m/s²
• Applied force → Let x

Also,

• Mass of another object → 24 kg
• [ with same force applied . ]

To Find :-

• The force applied on the object
• The acceleration of another object

Formula Used :-

F = MA

where,

F = Force

M = Mass

A = Acceleration

Here,

Mass is 16 kg and acceleration is 3 m/s²

Force applied ,

F = Ma

F = 16 kg × 3 m/s²

Force = 48 kg m/s² or Newton

Now, another situation says,

Given Force = 48 N

and, Mass = 24 Kg

So Acceleration = F / M

→ 48 N / 24 Kg

→ 2 m/s² Ans !

Answer 2

Ans: 48 N, 2 m/s2...................................
