Question

If mass of a body is doubled while keeping the force constant then what would happen to acceleration? Plz answer this.

Answer 1

Answer:

the acceleration will be doubled

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given,

The mass of a body is doubled while keeping the force constant.

To find,

The change in the acceleration.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process:

Mathematically,

Force acting (F)

= Mass of the object (m) x acceleration (a)

{Equation 1}

Let us assume that the initial conditions be;

Force = F

The initial mass of the body = m

Initial acceleration = a

Now, according to the question, the changed conditions are;

Final force = F

The final mass of the body = 2m

Final acceleration = A

Now, according to the question;

Force acting in initial conditions = force acting in changed conditions

=> (initial mass)×(initial acceleration) = (final mass)×(final acceleration)

{according to the equation-1}

=> m×a = 2m×A

=> A=a/2

=> the changed acceleration will the half of the initial

Hence, the changed acceleration will the half of the initial.
