Question

For a moving object,When. The force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 64 N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 8 m/s2. If the acceleration of the object becomes 9 m/s2, what is the force?

Answer 1

72 N

Explanation:

From the question.

Force is directly proportional to acceleration, with the mass of the object constant.

F α a

F = ka

F₁/a₁ = F₂/a₂....................... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Initial force, a₁ = initial acceleration. F₂ = final force, a₂ = Final acceleration.

make F₂ the subject of the equation

F₂ = (F₁/a₁)a₂................ Equation 2

Given; F₁ = 64 N, a₁ = 8 m/s², a₂ = 9 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

F₂ = (64/8)(9)

F₂ = 72 N
