For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 24N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s^2 If the force is changed to 36 N , what will be the acceleration of the object?
To find the acceleration when the force is changed to 36 N, we can set up a proportion based on the given information:
\(24N / 4m/s^2 = 36N / x\)
Solving for x:
\(24 * x = 36 * 4\)
\(24x = 144\)
\(x = 144 / 24\)
\(x = 6 m/s^2\)
Therefore, when the force is changed to 36 N, the acceleration of the object will be 6 m/s^2.
