Answer to Question #84911 in Mechanics | Relativity for Heaven

Question

How large a mass will 32 N accelerate at the same rate achieved by 13 N acting one 8.3 kg?

Answer 1

Let's first find the acceleration produced by

$13 N$

force acting on

$8.3 kg$

mass:

$a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{13 N}{8.3 kg} = 1.56 \frac{m}{s^2}.$

Finally, we can find the mass that will accelerate by

$32 N$

force acting at the same rate achieved by 13 N acting one 8.3 kg:

$m = \frac{F}{a} = \frac{32 N}{1.56 \frac{m}{s^2}} = 20.5 kg.$

Answer:

$m = 20.5 kg$
