Question

If a certain force accelerates an object of mass 23 Kg at 57 m/s/s, what acceleration in m/s/s would the same force produce on another object of mass 23? Enter answer to at least one decimal place to the right of the decimal point.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m₁ = 23 kg

Acceleration of this object, a₁ = 57 m/s/s

Mass of another object, m₂ = 23 kg

We need to find the acceleration of another object. It can be calculated using second law of motion as :

`F=ma`

`a=(F)/(m)`

Here, F is same. So,

`(a_1)/(a_2)=(m_2)/(m_1)`

`a_2=(a_1m_1)/(m_2)`

`a_2=(57* 23)/(23)`

`a_2=57\ m/s/s`

So, another object will create same acceleration as 57 m/s/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
