Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
F = ma
If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
I think it is A) but someone might need to double check that.
Answer:
Explanation:
AVerage acceleration is the cjange in velocity with time
a = v-u/t
v is the final velocity = 48m/s
u is the initial velocity = 40m/s
t is the time = 6.5s
a = 48-40/6.5
a = 8/6.5
a = 1.23m/s²
Hence the magnitude of the car’s average acceleration during this period is 1.23m/s²
