Question

If the mass of the body is doubled what'll happen to its acceleration if the same force applied.

Open in App

Solution

Acceleration of the body $a = \frac{F}{m}$
So, $a \propto \frac{1}{m}$
Thus acceleration of body becomes halved if the mass of the body is doubled when same force is applied.
