Question

3Two students make the statements about acceleration that are given below.Student A: For a given mass the acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultantforce applied to the object.Student B: For a given force the acceleration of an object is proportional to the mass ofthe object(a) One statement is correct and one is incorrect.Re-write the incorrect statement, making changes so that it is now correct.For a given ......... the acceleration of an object is[1].(b) State the equation which links acceleration a, resultant force F and mass m.[1](c) Describe what happens to the motion of a moving object when(i) there is no resultant force acting on it,[1](ii) a resultant force is applied to it in the opposite direction to the motion,*****[1](iii) a resultant force is applied to it in a perpendicular direction to the motion.[1](Total: 5)

Answer 1

Given:

Two statements about force, mass, and acceleration.

To find:

(a) Correct form of the incorrect statement.

(b) The equation that relates the force, mass, and acceleration
