Question

Luis and Aisha conducted an experiment. They exerted different forces on four objects. Their results are shown in the table.

Answer 1

Answer:

Object 3 has greatest acceleration.

Explanation:

Objects               Mass                                Force

1                            10 kg                               4 N              

2                           100 grams                       20 N

3                            10 grams                         4 N

4                             1 kg                                 20 N

Acceleration of object 1,

$a_1=\dfrac{F_1}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{4}{10}\\\\a_1=0.4\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of object 2,

$a_2=\dfrac{F_2}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{20}{0.1}\\\\a_2=200\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of object 3,

$a_3=\dfrac{F_3}{m_3}\\\\a_3=\dfrac{4}{0.01}\\\\a_3=400\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of object 4,

$a_4=\dfrac{F_4}{m_4}\\\\a_4=\dfrac{20}{1}\\\\a_3=20\ m/s^2$

It is clear that the acceleration of object 3 is $400\ m/s^2$ and it is greatest of all. So, the correct option is (3).
