Question

F both the mass of the body and the force acting on it are doubled, then acceleration--------------------

Select one:

a.
halved


b.
becomes four times


c.
doubled


d.
remains same​

Answer 1

d. remains same​

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Force = mass * acceleration

`Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}`

If both the mass of the body and the force acting on it are doubled, then acceleration remains the same​.

Given the following data;

Mass = 2Mass

Force = 2Force

Substituting into the formula, we have;

`Acceleration = \frac {2Force}{2Mass}`

`Acceleration = \frac {Force}{Mass}`
