A force is applied to a 2.2 kg mass and pro-duces 2.1 m/s2acceleration. What acceleration would be produced bythe same force applied to a 11.5 kg mass?

Answer: the acceleration would be

0.402 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

A force is applied to a 2.2 kg mass and pro-duces 2.1m/s² acceleration.

Force = mass * acceleration

This means that the magnitude of the force would be

2.2 * 2.1 = 4.62 kgm/s²

If the same force is applied to a 11.5 kg mass, the acceleration that would be produced becomes,

Let a represent the acceleration, then

4.62 = 11.5 * a = 11.5a

a = 4.62/11.5 = 0.402 m/s²
