Question

1) A car has a maximum acceleration of 3.0 m/s^2. What will the maximum acceleration be if the car is towing another car of the same mass?

2) A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2.

a) What will the acceleration be if the force is halved?

b) What will the acceleration be if the object's mass is halved?

Answer 1

1. half

2a. half

2b. twice

F = ma

acceleration is proportional to force and inversely proportional to the mass.
