Several motorboats with the same mass are used in an experiment The forces of the different motirs versus their accelerations are graphed. What is the y-intercept of this graph???1point) the inverse of the mass..........zero............the veocity.........the mass

Answer 1

In a graph where the forces of different motors are plotted against their accelerations, according to Newton's second law (\(F = ma\)), the relationship can be expressed as:

\[ F = ma \]

Here, \(F\) is the force, \(m\) is the mass, and \(a\) is the acceleration. When you rearrange this equation to plot force (\(F\)) on the y-axis and acceleration (\(a\)) on the x-axis, you can see that the equation can be interpreted as:

\[ F = m \cdot a + 0 \]

From this equation, it's clear that the slope of the line (if we were to call it in the form of \(y = mx + b\)) would equal the mass (\(m\)), and the y-intercept would be \(0\).

So, the y-intercept of this graph is zero.
