Answer 1

Answer:

$9\ m/s^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration.

F ∝ a

or

$\dfrac{F_1}{a_1}=\dfrac{F_1}{a_2}$

Put F₁ = 8 N, a₁ = 4 m/s², F₂ = 18 N and a₂ = ?

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{8}{4}=\dfrac{18}{a_2}\\\\2=\dfrac{18}{a_2}\\\\a_2=9\ m/s^2$

So, the new acceleration is $9\ m/s^2$.
