Question
which of the following would accelerate faster with the same amount of force? a 150 pound person because the smaller the mass, the more the acceleration a 200 pound person because the smaller the mass, the more the acceleration rewatch submit
According to Newton's second law of motion \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration), when \(F\) is constant (\(F_1=F_2\)), \(a=\frac{F}{m}\). So, the smaller the mass \(m\), the larger the acceleration \(a\). A 150 - pound person has a smaller mass than a 200 - pound person.
