A skateboarder is accelerating forward. How would his acceleration change if he had more mass?
1 answer:
Answer:
If the force remains the same, the acceleration would decrease
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is given by
where
F is the force applied to the object
m is the mass of the object
As we see from the formula, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, if the force F remains constant, this means that if the mass of the skateboarder increases, then the acceleration will decrease.
