Question

A net force of 37 N gives an object an acceleration of 5.7 m/s2. What net force would give the same object an acceleration of 3.9 m/s2? Please round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer 1

25.32 N net force would give the same object an acceleration of 3.9 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

Force = Mass x Acceleration

A net force of 37 N gives an object an acceleration of 5.7 m/s²

F = ma

37 = m x 5.7

m = 6.49 kg

Now we need to find what net force would give the same object an acceleration of 3.9 m/s²

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Force = 6.49 x 3.9

Force = 25.32 N

25.32 N net force would give the same object an acceleration of 3.9 m/s²
