Question

An object has an acceleration of 12.0 m/s/s. If the net force

acting upon this object were tripled, then its new acceleration

would be m/s/s.

Answer 1

F=ma

Explanation: Let X stand for the new acceleration with the tripled force.

F = m*(12.0 m/s/s)

3F = m*(X)

3F = 3*m*(12.0 m/s/s)

3F = m*(X)

3F = m*(3*12.0 m/s/s)

X = (3*12.0 m/s/s)

a for 3X the force is = (3*12.0 m/s/s), or 36.0 m/s/s
