Question

14 multiple choice 1 point analyze the following statements and determine which is more massive? a force f of 50 n pulling to the right causes this object to accelerate to the right at 10 m/s² a force f of 100 n pulls to the right causing this mass to accelerate at 25 m/s² to the right clear my selection

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate mass for first case

Using Newton's second law \(F = ma\), so \(m=\frac{F}{a}\). For \(F = 50\space N\) and \(a=10\space m/s^{2}\), \(m_1=\frac{50}{10}=5\space kg\)

Step2: Calculate mass for second case

Using \(F = ma\), so \(m=\frac{F}{a}\). For \(F = 100\space N\) and \(a = 25\space m/s^{2}\), \(m_2=\frac{100}{25}=4\space kg\)

Answer:

The object in the first statement (with \(F = 50\space N\) and \(a=10\space m/s^{2}\)) is more massive.
