when a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration kf the object varies inversly with its mass when a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 2 kg the acceleration of the object is 14 m/s^2 if the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 7kg, what is the object’s acceleration?

Answer: 4 m/s^2

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 = 2*14 = 28 N.

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

28 = 7*a

m = 4 m/s^2
