For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 24N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s^2 If the force is changed to 36 N , what will be the acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

To find the acceleration when the force is changed to 36 N, we can set up a proportion based on the given information:

$24N/4m/s^2=36N/x$

Solving for x:

$24\ast x=36\ast 4$

$24x=144$

$x=144/24$

$x=6m/s^2$

Therefore, when the force is changed to 36 N, the acceleration of the object will be 6 m/s^2.
