Question

A force is applied to a 2.4 kg mass and produces 5.1 m/s^2 acceleration. What acceleration would be produced by the same force applied to a 6.2 kg mass?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = Mass x acceleration = 2.4 x 5.1

If the acceleration is x, then Force is also 6.2x.

Therefore, 2.4 x 5.1 = 6.2x or x = 1.97 ≈ 2.0 m/s²
