Question

A net force of magnitude 36N gives an object of mass m1 an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. The same net force gives m1 and another object of mass m2 fastened together an acceleration of 2.0 m/s/s. What acceleration will m2 experience if the same net force acts on it alone?

Answer 1

aply newtons 2nd low to m1
m1=....
aply newtons 2nd low to m1 and m2 (together (m1+m2)
is that egnaph to get you started?

Answer 2

first u have to find m1
u are given F=36N, a=6m/s^2
F=ma
m1=6kg

now in second part u are said if both are together and net force is same
F=a(m1 + m2)
m2=12kg

now in third part u are said if force is same find acceleration
F=m2a
a=3m/s^2
