We can use the formula:
force = mass x acceleration
To solve for acceleration, we can rearrange the formula as:
acceleration = force / mass
Since the mass of the object is not given, we can assume it to be constant and cancel it out in the equation.
So, we have:
acceleration = force / mass
acceleration = (48 N) / (mass)
acceleration = 48/mass
Now, we can use the given acceleration of 6 m/s^2 to find the mass of the object:
6 = 48/mass
mass = 8 kg
Now, we can use the formula again to find the new acceleration with a force of 72 N:
acceleration = force / mass
acceleration = (72 N) / (8 kg)
acceleration = 9 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the object with a force of 72 N is 9 m/s^2.
For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of
48 N
acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is
6 /ms2
. If the force is changed to
72 N
, what will be the acceleration of the object?
