Question

newtons seconf law states that f=ma(fierce time acceleration). which example would best have the greatest acceleration A) a 10kg ball thrown with a 50 newton force B) a 1kg ball thrown with a 0.5 newton force C). A 50kg student launched by a 100 newton catapult D) a 500 kg car accelerated by 1000 Newton’s from the engine

Answer 1

If Newton’s Second Law states that F=ma, then we can solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by the mass.

a=F/m

Now, you can substitute the data into the equation to find the accelerations for each trial.

10 kg ball w/ 50 N = 5 m/s^2
1 kg ball w/ 0.5 N = 0.5 m/s^2
50 kg stud. w/ 100 N = 2 m/s^2
500 kg car w/ 1000 N = 2 m/s^2

The 10 kg ball with 50 N of force has the greatest acceleration of these.
