Four boxes are sliding with constant speed before each box experiences and unbalanced force of 8 N. Which box would experience the greatest acceleration when the unbalanced force is applied? Answer choices: A) The box with a mass of 2 g B) The box with a mass of 4g C) The box with a mass of 6 g D)The box with a mass of 8 g

Respuesta :

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

The box with mass of 2 g experience the greatest acceleration.

Force at any object is defined as product of its mass and acceleration.

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

Where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration of object.

F = 8 N  is given.

Acceleration of the box of 2 g =  [tex]\frac{8}{2}=4 m/s^{2}[/tex]

Acceleration of the box of 4 g = [tex]\frac{8}{4}=2m/s^{2}[/tex]

Acceleration of the box of 6 g = [tex]\frac{8}{6}=1.34m/s^{2}[/tex]

Acceleration of the box of 8 g = [tex]\frac{8}{8}=1m/s^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, box with mass of 2 g experience the greatest acceleration.
