Question

a force of 45 N isvexerted on an object, resulting in an acceleration of 5 m/s^2 for the object what will the objects acceleration be if the force doubles

Answer 1

the acceleration will be 10 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the force applied to an object and the acceleration of the object are directly proportional, as Newton's second law states:

`F=ma`

where

F is the net force applied to the object

m is the object's mass

a is the object's acceleration

in the first example, a force F=45 N is applied to the object, giving it an acceleration of a=5 m/s^2. Therefore, the mass of the object is

`m=(F)/(a)=(45 N)/(5 m/s^2)=9 kg`

In the second example, the force is doubled, so it will be F=90 N. The mass is still m=9 kg, so the acceleration will be

`a=(F)/(m)=(90 N)/(9 kg)=10 m/s^2`
