A net force F is required to give an object with mass m an acceleration a. If a net force 6F is applied to an object with mass 2m, what is the acceleration on this object?
3a
We know that, net force = mass × acceleration
As per the question, F=ma
Now, when a force 6F is applied to a body of mass 2m, let the acceleration be a′.
So, 6F=2m×a′
⇒a′=3Fm=3a
