Question

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the objects acceleration. When a force of 60 N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 10 m/s^2 . If the force is changed to 54 N, what will be the acceleration of the object

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey, there!!!

According to your question,

case i

force (f) = 60 n

acceleration due to gravity (a)= 10m/s^2

now,

force = mass × acceleration due to gravity

or, 60 = m × 10

or, 10m= 60

or, m= 60/10

Therefore, the mass is 6 kg.

now,

In case ii

mass= 6kg {Because there was no change in mass only change in force}

force= 54 n

now, acceleration due to gravity = ?

we have,

f=m×a

or, 54= 9×a

or, 9a= 54

or, a= 54/9

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity is 6m/ s^2.

Hope it helps....
