Answer #1

From Newton's Law, it can be stated that

therfore,
.............................(1)
..............................(2)

a) when force is haved keeping mass constant, freom equation (1), it can be statewd that the acceleration, which is proportional to force, will also be reduced to HALVED to 2.5 m/s2

b) When object's mass is halved keeping force constant, the acceleration would be doubled to 10 m/s2.

c) When force and mass are both halved, the acceleration will remain the same at 5 m/s2

d) When force is halved and mass is doubled, acceleration value would decrease by a factor of 4. and the value of acceleration will be 1.25 m/s2

Two forces FA and FB are applied to an object whose mass is 12.0 kg. The larger force is FA. When both forces point due east, the object's acceleration has a magnitude of 0.800 m/s2. However, when FA points due east and FB points due west, the acceleration is 0.400 m/s2, due east. Find the magnitude of FA and the magnitude of FB.

Object A (3 kg) and Object B (1 kg) are initially at rest. A constant force of 2 N is applied to the two objects in the following ways: Scenario 1: The force accelerates both objects over the same distance, d = 2 m. Scenario 2: The force accelerates both objects for the same length of time, Δt = 2 s. Note that the force is applied in the same direction for both objects. After the acceleration, how do the...
