Question

A constant force pushes a 5 kg brick at 10 N. If the mass was tripled, what would happen to the acceleration if the same force is applied?

(PLEASE SHOW WITH STEPS)

Answer 1

1.35 miles per second

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step it depende the way and hight he is

2 step the mass of the brick it depends

3 if it was triplet the acceleration it would be 1.50

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The original acceleration is:

∑F = ma

10 N = (5 kg) a

a = 2 m/s²

If the mass is tripled, the new acceleration is:

∑F = ma

10 N = (15 kg) a

a = 0.67 m/s²

The acceleration is reduced by a factor of 3.
