For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 27 N acts on a certain object, the acceleration
of the object is 3 m/s?. If the force is changed to 18 N, what will be the acceleration of the object?

Respuesta :

Solution :

It is given that force on the object is directly proportional to acceleration.

So, F = ka

Here, k is any constant value.

Putting, F = 27 N and a = 3 m/s² in above equation, we get :

3k = 27

k = 9 N s² m⁻¹

Putting, k in above equation, we get :

F = 9a

Now, putting F = 18 N, we get :

a = 18/9 m/s²

a = 2 m/s²

Hence, this is the required solution.
