Answer:
c. 48 cm/s/s
Explanation:
Anna Litical and Noah Formula are experimenting with the effect of mass and net force upon the acceleration of a lab cart. They determine that a net force of F causes a cart with a mass of M to accelerate at 48 cm/s/s. What is the acceleration value of a cart with a mass of 2M when acted upon by a net force of 2F?
from newtons second law of motion ,
which states that change in momentum is directly proportional to the force applied.
we can say that
f=m(v-u)/t
a=acceleration
t=time
v=final velocity
u=initial velocity
since a=(v-u)/t
f=m*a
force applied is F
m =mass of the object involved
a is the acceleration of the object involved
f=m*48.........................1
in the second case ;a mass of 2M when acted upon by a net force of 2F
f=ma
a=2F/2M
substituting equation 1
a=2(M*48)/2M
a=. 48 cm/s/s
