Question

Maximum accleration that can act on a 2.5kg mass under the action of a 16 N and a 4N force is

Answer 1

According to Newton's Second law of motion we know that:F = m × aGiven mass m =2.5 kgSo the acceleration of the body when a force of 16 N acts on it is:F = m × a a = F / m   =16N / 2.5 kg   =6.4 m/s2The acceleration of the body when a force of 4 N acts on it is:a = F / m   = 4N / 2.5 kg   =1.6 m/s2 

Answer 2

Answer:

8m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took an MCQ practice Aakash Test and these options given by others were not there...

F=ma

So F/m=a or a=F/m

Acceleration is Force divided by Mass

But since they are asking for the maximum acceleration that can act on the object, we have to add the two forces (f1+f2) that will give us 20N as the force.

Now mass is 2.5kg

So 20/2.5 Which is 8

So 8m/s
