Question

This question to me seems to be missing info.
If the force acting on an object stays the same, then the acceleration of the object is inversely proportional to its mass. If an object with a mass of 9 kilograms accelerates at a rate of per second per second by a force, find the rate of acceleration of an object with a mass of that is pulled by the same force.

Answer 1

a = k/m

Answer 2

since k = ma of the original situtation:

k = 9*1 = 9

a = 9/m

Answer 3

oh you just use 1

Answer 4

if i can read it right, which i think i ran over a few details lol

Answer 5

so then where do you go from there

Answer 6

If the force acting on an object stays the same,

then the acceleration of the object is inversely proportional to its mass: a=k/m

If an object with a mass of 9 kilograms accelerates at a rate of per second per second by a force, at a rate of persec persec ??

Answer 7

looks like it's missing info to me

Answer 8

either a copy/paste went bad; or the original details is missing

Answer 9

i think they messed up because that is how it is worded I thought something was missing to

Answer 10

because you have to divide 9 by something right

Answer 11

if you filled in the missing data with say "n" you could work out the rest :)

Answer 12

n = k/9 such that the constant of variation = 9n

Answer 13

find the rate of acceleration of an object with a mass of _??_ that is pulled by the same force.

Answer 14

between the "rate of _____ per second per second"
and "an object with a mass of _____ that is pulled"
this thing is dead in the water

Answer 15

but you would still have to do something with the 9 because my choices are
a. 3 meters per second
b. 27
c. 18
D. 24

Answer 16

you cant determine a specific value without the missing data

Answer 17

all you know is that the first object is\[a_1=\frac F9\]\[a_2=\frac F{m_2}\]which is not enough info to solve for\(a_2\) which is what they want
you have three equations with two unknowns

Answer 18

strike the "is the first object" part above

Answer 19

sorry, I also meant two equations with three unknowns
the typos never end

Answer 20

yeah I can never get a hold of the stupid school so I guess I will just guess

Answer 21

bummer... that happens too often in my opinion
