Question

1-Two objects a distance apart are experiencing 40 N of force. How much force wouldthere be if you DOUBLED BOTH of their masses??

Answer 1

We know that

• The applied force is 40 N.

,

• Their masses are being doubled.

Following Newton's Second Law, the mass is directly proportional to the applied force, which means if we double the mass, then the force will be double too.

`F=ma\to F=2ma\to F=2(ma)`

However, if we double both masses at the same time, then the force between will be four times stronger. So, F = 4*40N = 160N.

Therefore, the force between the masses will be 160 N.
