An object has an acceleration of 12.0 m/s/s. If the net forcewas doubled and the mass was one-third the original value,then the new acceleration would be m/s/s.

Respuesta :

By Newton's second law we have:

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

From the original mass, force an acceleration we have:

[tex]\frac{F}{m}=12[/tex]

Now if we doubled the force and take a third of the mass we would have:

[tex]\frac{2F}{\frac{1}{3}m}=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot\frac{F}{m}=6\cdot(12)=72[/tex]

Therefore the acceleration in this case would be 72 meters per second per second.
