Question

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 40 N acts on a certain object, the acceleration

of the object is 10 m/s². If the force is changed to 36 N, what will be the acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, F = 15N

Explanation:

You have: F = ka

Where F is the force acting on the object, A is the object's acceleration and is the constant of proportionality.

Which will be our letters that we will NEED to use for today.

You can calculate the constant of proportionality by substituting F = 18 and a = 6 into the equation and solving for k: Then we can now figure out the “ formula of expression “

18 = k6

k =
`(18)/(6)`

K = 3

We would need to calculate the force when the acceleration of the object becomes 5 m/s², as following: F = 3 x 5 ( Basic math )

= F = 15

Thus the answer to your problem is, F = 15N
