Answer: the acceleration would be
0.402 m/s²
Explanation:
A force is applied to a 2.2 kg mass and pro-duces 2.1m/s² acceleration.
Force = mass × acceleration
This means that the magnitude of the force would be
2.2 × 2.1 = 4.62 kgm/s²
If the same force is applied to a 11.5 kg mass, the acceleration that would be produced becomes,
Let a represent the acceleration, then
4.62 = 11.5 × a = 11.5a
a = 4.62/11.5 = 0.402 m/s²
