Answer to Question #294622 in Physics for EXES

Question

A force applied to an object of mass m1 produces an acceleration of 2.00 m/s square.

(A) what is the ratio m1/m2

(B) if m1 and m2 are combined,find their acceleration under the action bof the force F

Answer 1

(A) The ratio can be found only if we know the values of m1 and m2.

(B) The acceleration of the system can be found as

$$a=\dfrac F{m_1+m_2}.$$
