Question

The acceleration (in m/s/s) of a body is directly proportional to the force (in N for newton) acting on the body. If a certain body accelerates at 10 m/s/s when subjected to a force of 3 N, what will the acceleration be under a force of 8 N??

Answer 1

26.667

Explanation:

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

So Let's first bring the parameters.

F=3N, A=10m/s M=?

F=ma:.

3=Mx10,. 3=10M

M=3/10 M= 0.3

So we will use that to find the acceleration of force 8N.

F=Ma:. 8=0.3xa

8=0.3a

A=8/0.3

A=26.667.
