Question

An object of mass 16 mg is moving with an acceleration of 3 m/a ^2. Calculate the applied force . If the same force is applied on an object of mass 24 kg , how much will be the acceleration ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

F=Ma

16X3

48N

48=24a

a=2m/s²

Answer 2

An object of mass 16 kg is moving with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Here, Mass (m) = 16 kg, Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s².

In First case we have to find the applied force (F).

Force is defined as product of mass and acceleration. i.e.

F = m × a

Substitute the known values in the above formula to find the value of force.

F = 16 × 3

F = 48 N

Therefore, force is 48 N.

Second Case:

Now, if the same force i.e. 48 N is applied on an object of mass 24 kg, then how much will be the acceleration.

Agin using the same formula:

F = m × a

But this time, Force (F) is 48 N and Mass (m) is 24 kg.

Substitute the values.

48 = 24 × a

48/24 = a

2 = a

Therefore, the acceleration is 2 m/s².
