Question

2 multiple choice 1 point remember newtons 2nd law - law of acceleration? we spoke about f = ma when selecting a car, you want a car with good, fast acceleration. if all vehicles had the same horsepower (force), which car would accelerate more? image of various characters and a character on a motorcycle a car with more mass a car with less mass clear my selection previous

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Newton's second law formula

From \(F = ma\), we can solve for acceleration \(a=\frac{F}{m}\). Here, \(F\) (force, which is horsepower in this context) is constant.

Step2: Determine the relationship between \(a\) and \(m\)

Since \(a=\frac{F}{m}\) and \(F\) is fixed, when \(m\) (mass) decreases, \(a\) (acceleration) increases. For example, if \(F = 10\), when \(m = 2\), \(a=\frac{10}{2}=5\); when \(m = 1\), \(a=\frac{10}{1} = 10\).

Answer:

a car with less mass
