Question

When a constant force is applied to an object, the acceleration of the object varies Inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object

with mass 6 kg, the acceleration of the object is 7 m/s². When the same force acts upon another object, its acceleration is 3 m/s². What is the mass of this
object?

Answer 1

Answer: 14 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the force applied to the objects. We can find this with the mass and the acceleration of the first object using the formula F=ma.

F = 6*7 = 42 N.

Since the same force acts upon the other object, we can use the same formula F=ma to solve for the mass of the other object.

42 = m*3

m = 14 kg
