Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

Case 1:

Mass = 16kg

acceleration = 3m/s^2

So,

F=ma

F=(16 ×3)N

F=48N

Case 2:

Mass=24kg

F=48N

acceleration =F÷m

=48÷24

=2 m/s^2
