The new acceleration is c) 18m/s/s
Explanation:
Net force, mass and acceleration of an object are related by Newton's second law of motion:
![F=ma](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3Dma)
where
F is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In the first trial of this problem, a net force of
is applied to the object, causing an acceleration of
![a=9 m/s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D9%20m%2Fs%5E2)
Calling the mass of the object 'm', this means that
[N] (1)
In the second trial, the force applied is
, so we have
![2F_{net} = ma'](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2F_%7Bnet%7D%20%3D%20ma%27)
where a' is the new acceleration. Substituting (1) into the second equation, we find:
![2(9m) = ma' \rightarrow a' = 18 m/s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%289m%29%20%3D%20ma%27%20%5Crightarrow%20a%27%20%3D%2018%20m%2Fs%5E2)
This is because the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied: therefore, if the force applied doubled, the acceleration doubles as well.
