Which object will have greater acceleration? Why?​

Physics

Answer:

Object D

Explanation:

Use Newton's Second Law to determine the acceleration that each object has.

  • F = ma

The force applied in both cases is 50 N, but the mass for object C and object D is different.

Let's start with object C first:

  • F = ma
  • 50 N = 10 kg · a
  • 50 = 10a
  • 5 = a

The acceleration object C undergoes is 5 m/s².  

Now let's calculate object D next:

  • F = ma
  • 50 N = 2 kg * a
  • 50 = 2a
  • 25 = a

The acceleration object D undergoes is 25 m/s².

Object D has greater acceleration because it has a smaller mass. The object with a smaller mass will accelerate more in order to satisfy Newton's 2nd Law.

What is the difference between radial acceleration and tangential acceleration and how do you calculate both of these accelerati
sergey [27]

Answer:

Tangential acceleration is in the direction of velocity - along the circumference of a circle if the object is undergoing circular motion

a = (V2 - V1) / T

Radial acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of motion if the object is not moving in a straight line (perhaps along the circumference of a circle)

a = m V^2 / R = m ω^2 R   where R is the radius vector of the velocity - note that the Radius vector is directed from the center of motion to the object and for circular motion would be constant in magnitude but not  in direction
