Four movers pick up boxes each box has a different Mass and each mover applies a different amount of force to lift the box which box will have the greatest acceleration

1 answer

To determine which box will have the greatest acceleration, we need to consider Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Let's assume the force applied by each mover is denoted as F1, F2, F3, and F4, and the masses of the boxes are denoted as m1, m2, m3, and m4, respectively.

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration (a) of each box can be calculated using the formula:

a = F / m

where F is the force applied and m is the mass of the box.

Based on this formula, the box with the greatest acceleration will be the one with the highest force and/or the lowest mass.

Therefore, to determine which box will have the greatest acceleration, we need more information regarding the force applied by each mover and the mass of each box.
