Answer 1

The Answer Is....:

D.

Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we know that Force is the rate of change of momentum meaning

F= mv/t

But

mv/t = Ke

v/t = ke/m

a= ke/m

Where a is acceleration

K is constant of proportionality of tension on a spring

e is the extension substended by a string.

From the formula of acceleration we can see that as mass decreases acceleration increases so we can see that m = 1

We would have a maximum value of acceleration.
