Question

If you were to throw one show with a force of 20 Newtons and the other with a force of 10 Newtons, which would accelerate more? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

The show with 20 N force will accelerate more than the show with 10 N force, because 20 N force is greater than 10 N force.

 

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is the ratio of applied to mass of the object.

$acceleration = \frac{Force}{mass}$

Acceleration is directly proportional to an applied force. At a constant mass, acceleration increases with an increase in the applied force.

Therefore, the show with 20 N force will accelerate more than the show with 10 N force, because 20 N force is greater than 10 N force.
