If the mass of the ball is doubled, how will the acceleration change if pushed with the same force??
Force
2kg
a = 5 m/s
The acceleration will reduce in half
The acceleration will double
ОО
The acceleration will not change

Answer:

The acceleration will reduce in half

Explanation:

Given

[tex]m = 2kg[/tex]

[tex]a =5m/s^2[/tex]

Required

What happens when mass is doubled

Force is calculated as:

[tex]Force= mass * acceleration[/tex]

[tex]Force= 2kg * 5m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]Force = 10N[/tex]

Provided that force remains constant and mass is doubled:

[tex]Force= mass * acceleration[/tex]

[tex]mass = 2 * 5kg =10kg[/tex]

So:

[tex]10N = 10kg * a_2[/tex]

[tex]a_2 =\frac{10N}{10kg}[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 1m/s^2[/tex]

By comparing the values of the initial and the new acceleration:

One can see that the acceleration reduces in half
