Question

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 35 N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 5 m/s^2. If the force is changed to 49 N what will be the acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

Answer:The acceleration that an objects gains is given by the mass of the object.

If the acceleration of the object becomes 5 m/s² the force is 15 N.

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The acting force ∝ The acceleration of the object.

The acceleration given by an amount of force, F, of 18 N = 6 m/s²

Required:

The force acting on the object acceleration, a, is 5 m/s².

Solution:

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

F = m·a

Where;

m = The mass of the object

Therefore, we have;

From the conditions, F = 18 N, when a = 6 m/s², we have, the mass of the

given object is given as follows;

The force acting when the the acceleration, a = 5 m/s², is therefore;

F = 3 kg × 5 m/s² = 15 N

If the acceleration of the object becomes 5 m/s² the force is 15 N.
