A force caused an acceleration of 10ms-2 in a body of mass 500g . What acceleration will be caused by the same force in a body of mass 5kg.

Open in App

Solution

In the 1st case,

mass = 500g = 0.5 kg
and acceleration = 10m/s²

We know force = mass × acceleration

So,
force
= 0.5 × 10 kgm/s²
= 5N

Now in second case

Force = 5N
mass = 5kg

So acceleration = Force / mass

Here,
acceleration
= 5N / 5kg

= 1m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration is 1m/s²

In the 1st case, mass = 500g = 0.5 kg and acceleration = 10m/s² We know force = mass × acceleration So, force = 0.5 × 10 kgm/s² = 5N Now in second case Force = 5N mass = 5kg So acceleration = Force / mass Here, acceleration = 5N / 5kg = 1m/s² Therefore, the acceleration is 1m/s²
