A: If a net force greater than 0 N is applied to an electron and to a proton, which one will accelerate more? The mass of an ele
ctron is roughly 1 2000 th that of a proton. A) The electron will accelerate more than the proton. B) The proton will accelerate more than the electron. C) Both the proton and the electron will move at a constant speed. D) Both the proton and electron will accelerate by the same amount.
according to newton's second law , net force on an object is the product of mass of the object and the acceleration of the object. the formula is given as
F = ma where F = net force , m = mass and a = acceleration
so acceleration can be given as
a = F/m
for same net force , the acceleration depends on the mass of the object .
greater the mass , smaller will be the acceleration and vice versa.
Since the mass of electron is smaller as compared to the mass of proton, hence the electron will accelerate more as compared to proton.
A) The electron will accelerate more than the proton
A) <u>the electron will accelerate more than the proton.</u>
If the net force is greater than one, SOOO Newton’s second law of motion, an object will accelerate. The mass is inversely proportional to the acceleration. The lower the mass, the faster the acceleration,
