Answer:
The greatest acceleration when the unbalanced force is applied will be experienced in :
A) The box with a mass of 2 kg
Explanation:
According to second law of motion the external unbalanced force is directly proportional to rate of change of momentum.
F = (Final momentum - initial momentum)/time
or
Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration
F = m x a
Here a= acceleration
m = mass of the object
If Force is constant then acceleration is inversely proportional to mass
[tex]a =\frac{F}{m}[/tex]
A) The box with a mass of 2kg
F = 8 N
[tex]a =\frac{8}{2}[/tex]
a = 4 m/s2
B) The box with the mass of 4kg
[tex]a =\frac{8}{4}[/tex]
a = 2 m/s2
C) The box with a mass of 6kg
[tex]a =\frac{8}{6}[/tex]
a = 1.33 m/s2
D) The box with a mass of 8kg
[tex]a =\frac{8}{8}[/tex]
a = 1 m/s2
