Question

when a force F can produce 3 m/s^2 in mass M1 and 5 m/s^2 in mass M to compute the acceleration produced by the same force then acts on the combined system

Answer 1

Answer:

force F applied to an object of mass m

1

produces an acceleration of 3.00 m/s

2

. The same force applied to a second object of mass m

2

produces an acceleration of 1.00 m/s

2

.

(a) What is the value of the ratio m

1

/m

2

(b) If m

1

and m

2

are combined, find their acceleration under the action of the force F.
