Question

albert applies the same force to the bicycle each time he starts to ride. order the deliveries
to show the size of the acceleration the bicycle will have each time albert leaves the pizza
shop.
larger acceleration
5 salads
2 pizzas
10 pasta dishes
20 boxes of breadsticks

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total mass for each delivery

• For 5 salads: \(5\times300 = 1500\) g
• For 2 pizzas: \(2\times700=1400\) g
• For 10 pasta dishes: \(10\times600 = 6000\) g
• For 20 boxes of breadsticks: \(20\times500=10000\) g

Step2: Recall Newton's second law \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, \(a=\frac{F}{m}\)). Since \(F\) is constant, \(a\) is inversely proportional to \(m\). Smaller \(m\) means larger \(a\).

• Order the masses: \(1400\lt1500\lt6000\lt10000\)

Answer:

2 pizzas, 5 salads, 10 pasta dishes, 20 boxes of breadsticks
