Question
what is the the effect on acceleration of increasing the mass of the cart without increasing the force that is causing the acceleration
Answers
Henry
F = ma,
a = F/m,
Acceleration is proportional to the
applied force and inversely proportional to the mass.
In other words, if you double the force, the acceleration is doubled.
Doubling the mass reduces the acceleratin by 1/2.
