Question

If some force acts on a body, what will happen to the acceleration of the body when its mass is doubled and made$\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$4th$}\right.$?

Answer 1

1. When the same amount of force is applied to an object the value of mass and acceleration varies proportionally.
2. Formula:- $$\begin{gathered} Force=mass\times acceleration \\ F=ma \end{gathered}$$
3. Mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.
4. As a mass of an object is doubled acceleration of the object gets reduced by halved.
5. If the mass is reduced by $\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$4$}\right.$ acceleration of the object is increased four times.
