An object of mass 17.0 kg subjected to a non-zero net force moves with an acceleration of 2.2 m/s^2(a) Determine the net force (in N) acting on it. (Enter the magnitude only.)________N(b) What acceleration (in m/s^2) would a 34,0-kg object have if the same net force is applied to it?_______m/s^2

Sagot :

Given:

The mass of the object is m = 17 kg

The acceleration of the object is a = 2.2 m/s^2

Required:

(a) Net force acting on it.

(b) Acceleration if the mass is m' = 34 kg and the net force is the same.

Explanation:

(a) The net force can be calculated as

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=ma \\ =17\times2.2 \\ =37.4\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

(b) The acceleration can be calculated as

[tex]\begin{gathered} a^{\prime}=\frac{F}{m^{\prime}} \\ =\frac{37.4}{34} \\ =1.1\text{ m/s}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final Answer:

(a) Net force acting on it is 37.4 N

(b) Acceleration if the mass is m' = 34 kg and the net force is the same will be 1.1 m/s^2.
