Question

Student A: For a given mass the acceleration of an object is proportional to the Resultant force applied to the object. Student B: For a given force the acceleration of an object is proportional to the Mass of the object. One statement is correct and one is incorrect. Rewrite the incorrect statement, making changes so that it is now correct.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 statement is incorrect

Answer 2

For a given mass the acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force applied to the object.

• Force is an influence that can change the state of rest or motion that a body has been exhibiting.
• Acceleration is the capacity of a body to gain or lose speed.
• When a force is applied on a body, its mass does not change and hence, the acceleration increases.

• The acceleration produced is in the direction of the force applied.

• According to Newton's second law,

        $Force = Mass * Acceleration$

• As evident from the formula, the resultant force is directly proportional to the acceleration,

        $Force \alpha Acceleration$
