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.

Explain about kinetic theory​
Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the sys
Archy [21]

Speed of particle B is 2v₀/3 m/s to the left. Particle A and particle B will always have equal speed since they experience equal forces.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The speed and direction of the particle B is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

\frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A + \frac{G}{r^2} = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B + \frac{G}{r^2} \\\\ \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B\\\\v^2_A = v^2_B\\\\v_A = v_B

v_B = \frac{2v_0}{3}  \ m/s \ to \ the \ left

At any given position, the speed of particle A and particle B will be equal, since they experience equal force and they have equal masses.

The complete question is below:

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles assosicated with the force is given by the equation U=G/r 2, where r is the distance between the two particles and G is a positive constant. At time t=T1 particle A is observed to be traveling with speed 2vo/3 to the left. The speed and direction of motion of particle B is ?
