mass and accerleration


Question Posted Wednesday February 29 2012, 9:15 pm

A cart with a mass of 100 kg accerlerates when 10 N is applied. If the mass is doubled, how much force is required to maintain the same accerleration?

Hi. :)

This is really quite simple. All you have to do is calculate the acceleration from the original mass and force (100kg and 10N).

F=ma --> a=F/m

Then, you just use that acceleration with the newly doubled-mass cart (now 200kg) to find the new force.

Hope that helped!
