Question

Object A has 50 kg while Object B has 75 kg. They were pushed with the same amount of force. Which will have greater acceleration

Answer 1

Object A will have greater acceleration.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of object A = 50 kg

The mass of object B = 75 kg

They were pushed with the same amount of force.

We know that, the force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma

Here F is same for both mass

`m_1a_1=m_2a_2`

Mass and acceleration have inverse relation. It means the object whose mass is less will have greater acceleration. Hence, the acceleration is greater for object A.
