Question

A force of 20 N produces an acceleration of 10 m/s² in mass m1 and an acceleration of 5 m/s² in

Answer 1

Explanation:

F = 20N m= m1 a=10m/s²

m=m2 a=5m/s²

F = ma

for the first one:

f=m1 × a

20 = m1 ×10

20=10m1

m1=20/10

m1=2

for the second one :

f=m2×a

20=m2×5

m2= 20/5

m2= 4

since F=ma

F=(m1+m2) ×a

F =(4+2)×a

F =6×a

F=20(from the question above )

20=6×a

a=20/6

a=3.33

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

force :  20N

acceleration : 10m/s^2

mass 1 : m1

acceleration : 5m/s^2

mass 2 :  m2

f = ma

20 = m1 * 10

m1 = 2

20 = m2 * 5

m2 = 4

m1 + m2 = 2 + 4

              = 6

f = ma

20 = 6 * a

a = 3.3
