A constant force applied to object A causes it to accelerate at 5 m/s2. The same force applied to object B causes an acceleration of 3 m/s2. Applied to object C, it causes an acceleration of 7 m/s2.
A. Which object has the largest mass?B. Which object has the smallest mass?C. What is the ratio of mass A to mass B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(A) object B has the largest mass because it has the least acceleration

(B) object C has the smallest mass because it has the largest acceleration

(C) mass A : mass B = 3 : 5

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of object A = 5 m/s²

acceleration of object B = 3 m/s²

acceleration of object C = 7 m/s²

A constant force, F

According to Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

m = F / a

Mass of object A:

m = F / 5

Mass of object B:

m = F / 3

Mass of object  C:

m = F / 7

(A). Which object has the largest mass:

object B has the largest mass because it has the least acceleration

(B). Which object has the smallest mass:

object C has the smallest mass because it has the largest acceleration

(C). What is the ratio of mass A to mass B;

mass A = F / 5

mass B = F / 3

[tex]mass \ A : \ mass \ B = \frac{F}{5} : \frac{F}{3} \\\\\frac{mass \ A}{mass \ B} = \frac{F}{5} * \frac{3}{F}= \frac{3}{5} \\\\mass \ A : \ mass \ B = 3: 5[/tex]

A. The Object B has largest mass.

B. The Object A has smallest mass.

C. The ratio of mass A to mass B is, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Newton second law of motion:

The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

                   [tex]F=ma\\\\m=\frac{F}{a}[/tex]

  • For constant force, mass is inversely proportional to acceleration of object.
  • Given that, acceleration of object A is [tex]5m/s^{2}[/tex] and object B is [tex]3m/s^{2}[/tex]
  • Thus, Object B has largest mass.
  • Object A has smallest mass.
  • the ratio of mass A to mass B is,

                     [tex]\frac{m_{A}}{m_{B}} =\frac{a_{B}}{a_{A}} =\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
