A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Acceleration will be greater for the:

Respuesta :

Answer:

greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

Explanation:

Since both the toys are connected by same spring so the force due to spring on both the toys will be same and it is given as

[tex]F = kx[/tex]

now we know by Newton's II law

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

so here we have

[tex]a = \frac{F}{m}[/tex]

here we have same force on both the blocks

so acceleration will be more if mass is less

so greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass
