Question #125737

Two bodies have a mass of ratio 3 is to 4 the force applied on bigger mass production and acceleration of 12 mass per second what would be the acceleration of other body to the same force acts on it

Expert's answer

The ratio of masses is m1m2=34\dfrac{m_1}{m_2} = \dfrac{3}{4}. According to the second Newton's law, the force is:


F=maF = ma

where aa is acceleration delivered to the body.

If the force is the same for both bodies, then:


m1a1=m2a2m1m2=a2a1=34m_1a_1 = m_2a_2\\ \dfrac{m_1}{m_2} = \dfrac{a_2}{a_1} = \dfrac{3}{4}

From the last equation:


a2=34a1a_2 = \dfrac{3}{4}a_1

If a1=12m/s2a_1 = 12 m/s^2, then:


a2=3412m/s2=9m/s2a_2 = \dfrac{3}{4}12m/s^2 = 9m/s^2

Answer. 9 m/s^2.
