He used that name because if you lit hydrogen on fire it would catch. therefore, it was dangerous to be around. think of it as a kind of warning. :) hope that helps.

The gas formed in the experiment could catch fire easily. So, he named the gas inflammable air.

Answer:

The new acceleration becomes twice the pervious acceleration.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the rock, m = 3 kg

Force, F = 1 N

We know that the force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration of the rock

Put m = 3 kg and F = 1N,

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{3}\ m/s^2

If the force is doubled, F' = 2 N

So,

F'=ma'

a'=\dfrac{F'}{m}\\\\a'=\dfrac{2\times 1}{3}\\\\a'=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\a'=2\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\a'=2a

So, the new acceleration becomes twice the initial acceleration.
