A certain force causes an object to acceleration with an acceleration of 6.85 m/s/s. If the mass is increased by a factor of 2.64 and the force is increased by a factor of 3.85 , what is the new acceleration that the object will experience?
F=m*6.85
F*3.85=2.64*m*a
solve for a
a=m*6.85*3.85/(2.64m)
check my reasoning
Remember that F = m a ;
therefore, a = F/m.
If F' = 3.85 F and m' = 2.64 m
The new acceleration is:
a' = F'/m' = (3.84/2.64)*(F/m)
= 1.455 F/m = 1.455 a
Complete by inserting the original value of a.
thank you bob pursley :)
To find the new acceleration experienced by the object, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
Let's break down the steps:
Step 1: Determine the initial force and acceleration
Given:
Initial acceleration (a) = 6.85 m/s/s
Using Newton's second law of motion, we have:
Force (F) = mass (m) * acceleration (a)
Step 2: Calculate the initial force
We need to solve for the initial force. Rearranging the formula, we have:
F = m * a
Given that the acceleration is 6.85 m/s/s and mass is not provided, we cannot calculate the initial force at this point.
Step 3: Determine the new mass and force
Given:
Factor by which the mass is increased (mf) = 2.64
Factor by which the force is increased (ff) = 3.85
The mass (m2) and force (F2) can be calculated using the factors:
m2 = mf * m (initial mass)
F2 = ff * F (initial force)
Step 4: Calculate the new acceleration
Using Newton's second law of motion again, we have:
F2 = m2 * a2
Rearranging the formula, we have:
a2 = F2 / m2
Substituting the calculated values for F2 and m2, we can find the new acceleration, a2.
Please provide the initial mass of the object so that we can proceed with the calculations.
