A cart moves on the surface when it is pulled by a consistent Force the total mass of the cart is 2.0 kg and the accelerator data shows that it's acceleration is 0.4 M/S². Another trial is some of the same consistent Force but the total mass of the car is changed to 0.5 kg .

Question

A cart moves on the surface when it is pulled by a consistent Force the total mass of the cart is 2.0 kg and the accelerator data shows that it's acceleration is 0.4 M/S². Another trial is some of the same consistent Force but the total mass of the car is changed to 0.5 kg .

What acceleration should the accelerometer read?

0.1m/s²
0.2 m/s²
0.4 m/s²
0.8 m/s²
1.6 m/s²

1.6 m/s²

Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass according to Newton's second law (F = ma). Since the force is consistent in both trials, the acceleration should be four times as much in the second trial where the mass is 0.5 kg compared to the first trial where the mass is 2.0 kg. Therefore, the accelerometer should read an acceleration of 1.6 m/s².
