Question

Newton's Second Law of Motion is represented by the equation, F=ma, which shows the relationship of force, mass, and acceleration.



If the force acting on an object remains the same, but the object's mass is tripled how will the acceleration of that object change?



A.
Acceleration remains at 9.8 m/s due to gravity.


B.
Acceleration will be one-third the original value.


C.
Acceleration remains the same.


D.
Acceleration will be three times the original value.

Answer 1

a = F/m etc.

Answer 2

so b?

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

can you help with another one

Answer 5

go ahead.

Answer 6

Two wagons of equal mass are filled with an equal mass of bricks. Person A pushes one wagon with twice the force that Person B pushes the second wagon.



How is the acceleration affected?



A.
Person A's wagon will accelerate at twice the rate of Person B"s wagon.


B.
Person A's wagon will accelerate at 1/2 the rate of Person B's wagon.


C.
Both wagons will accelerate at the same rate, since the mass is the same.
