Question 23

Answer 1

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

Explanation:

• The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
• Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
• Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
• The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
• Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
