Question

A spring scale shows a net force of 0.8 N acting on a 1.5-kg mass. What happens to the acceleration of the object if the net force is decreased to 0.2 N?(1 point)

The acceleration increases to four times its original value, or about 0.13 m/s2.

The acceleration decreases to a quarter of its original value, or about 0.13 m/s2.

The acceleration increases to four times its original value, or about 2.13 m/s2.

The acceleration decreases to a quarter of its original value, or about 2.13 m/s2.

Answer 1

F = m*a
0.8 = 1.5a
a = 0.53 m/s^2.

F = m*a
0.2 = 1.5a
a = 0.13 m/s^2
a = 0.13 m/s^2.

Answer 2

B) The acceleration decreased to *a quarter* of its original value, or about 0.13 m/s^2.
