Question

When a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 10 kg, the acceleration of the object is 4m/s^2 . If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 8kg , what is this object's acceleration?

owing equations, determine whether y is a function of x . x+4y=8

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine whether y is a function of x in the equation x+4y=8, we can solve for y in terms of x:

x + 4y = 8

4y = 8 - x

y = (8 - x)/4

Copy

Since every value of x corresponds to exactly one value of y, y is a function of x.
