Question

Two bodies A and B having masses 6 kg and 3 kg respectively are at rest on a smooth surface. A force F is applied on both the bodies to produce linear motion. Which body will move with a greater speed and why?

• A. Body A moves with a greater speed since for a given force acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass
• B. Body B moves with a greater speed since for a given force acceleration is directly proportional to the mass
• C. Body B moves with a greater speed since for a given force acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass
• D. Body A moves with a greater speed since for a given force acceleration is directly proportional to the mass

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Body B moves with a greater speed since for a given force acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass

Body B moves with a greater speed since for a given force acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.
