Question

The diagram shows a homemade car being pushed with a force of 25 N. The force causes the car to move at a constant speed of 3 m/s2. What will happen if the force is changed to 35 N?

Answer 1

The acceleration of the car will increase drastically

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on newtons second law of motion, the force applied on a body is directly proportional to the product of its mass and acceleration;

Force = mass x acceleration

Since the mass of the car is constant, an increase in force will cause an increase in acceleration.

A decrease in the force will impact a lesser acceleration on the motor car.

This way, the change in velocity of the body per unit of time will increase drastically.
