The figure shows an acceleration-versus-force graph for three objects pulled by rubber bands. The mass of object 2 is 0.18kg (I'll post the figure in the comments) 1)What is the mass of object 1? 2) What is the mass of object 3? Explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know relation between force, mass and acceleration?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f=ma

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good, do you know what is slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for each of them x axis over y axis is mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for 2, 5F/5a_1=0.18kg, using this you can find mass of others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I dont know what the slope means. Are you saying slope=mass?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually here inverse of slope corresponds to mass.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from 2 you get F/a1=0.18kg for 1 you have 2F/5a1=2*0.18/5=0.072kg

OpenStudy (shamim):

For onject 2 F=ma 5=m*5a1 5=0.18*5a1 a1=?

OpenStudy (shamim):

For object 1 F=ma 2=m*5a1 m=?

OpenStudy (shamim):

For object 3 F=ma 5=m*2a1 m=?
