Question

A constant force applied to object A causes it to accelerate at 5 m/s². The same force applied to object B causes an accelera-
tion of 3 m/s². Applied to object C, it causes an acceleration of
8 m/s².
a. Which object has the largest mass?
b. Which object has the smallest mass?
c. What is the ratio of mass A to mass B (mA/MB)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

(i) The largest mass will be of the object B.

(ii) The smallest mass will be of the object C.

(iii) The ratio of the mass of object A and b will be 3:5.

According to the Newton’s 2 law for the same force applied acceleration and mass will be in the inverse ratio .it means the more the acceleration the less will be the mass of the object for the same force applied. As the acceleration of the object B is less so its mass will be more and vice versa. And the ratio of the masses will be the inverse ratio of the acceleration of object.

So, the ratio will become inverse ratio of acceleration of both the object that is 3:5.
