Question

The chart below summarizes the forces applied to four different objects.

Which object will experience the greatest acceleration?
A. Z
B. X
C. Y
D. W

Answer 1

C. Y

Step-by-step explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, we know that:

Force = mass x acceleration

So;

acceleration =
`(Force )/(mass)`

Therefore, to have the highest acceleration at a constant force, the mass must be low. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

Y has the least mass and it will have the highest acceleration
