You are accelerating a mass of 2500 kg. if you quadruple the force applied what happens to the acceleration?

If you quadruple the force applied, the acceleration will also be quadrupled

Relationship between acceleration and force

Acceleration is related to force according to the formula:

F = ma

Where

  • F is the force
  • m is the mass
  • a is the acceleration

F = ma

Divide both sides by a

F / a = m

m = constant

Thus,

F₁ / a₁ = F₂ / a₂

How to determine the new acceleration

  • Initial force (F₁) = F
  • Initial acceleration (a₁) = a
  • New force (F₂) = 4F
  • New acceleration (a₂) = ?

The new acceleration can be obtained as illustrated below:

F₁ / a₁ = F₂ / a₂

F / a = 4F / a₂

Cross multiply

Fa₂ = 4aF

Divide both side by F

a₂ = 4aF / F

a₂ = 4a

Thus, the new acceleration will also be quadrupled
