Answer:
A. Object A requires twice the force to stop as Object B.
Explanation:
Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mathematically, it is given by the formula;
<em>Let's assume the following values;</em>
Mass of object B = 10 kg
Mass of object A = 2 * B = 2 * 10 = 20 kg
Acceleration = 5 m/s²
I. To find the force for B;
<em>Force B = 50 Newton</em>
II. To find the force for A;
<em>Force A = 100 Newton</em>
From the calculation, we can deduce that Force A (100 N) is twice or double the value of Force B (50 N).
<em>In conclusion, since object A has twice the mass of object B and both objects are moving at the same speed, object A would require twice the force to stop as Object B.</em>
