Question

( 8c5p79) A certain force gives mass m1 an acceleration of 13.5 m/s2 and mass m2 an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration would the force give to an object with a mass of (m2-m1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.725 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We know that from Newton's second law of motion, F=ma hence making acceleration the subject then $a=\frac {F}{m}$  where a is acceleration, F is force and m is mass

Also making mass the subject of the formula $m=\frac {F}{a}$

For $m1= \frac {F}{13.5}$ and $m2=\frac {F}{3.5}$ hence $F=(m2-m1)a= (\frac {F}{3.5}-\frac {F}{13.5})a=0.2116402116\\\frac {1}{a}=0.2116402116\\a=4.725 m/s^{2}$
