A net force F acts on a mass m and produces an acceleration a. What mass would accelerate at a rate 8a if the force is decreased to F/2?​

Answer:

The mass of the object if body accelerate at the rate 8 a is [tex]\frac{m}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The net force = F Newton

The mass of the object = m kg

The acceleration = a  m/s²

Now, As The force is define as the product of mass and velocity

So, F = m × a

Now, Again , if the acceleration = 8 a

and The force decrease to [tex]\frac{F}{2}[/tex] = 0.5 F

So, Let The mass = M

∵ F = m × a

∴ mass = [tex]\frac{\textrm Force}{\textrm acceleration}[/tex]

Or. M = [tex]\frac{\textrm 0.5 F}{\textrm 8 a}[/tex]

or, M =0.0625 × [tex]\frac{F}{a}[/tex]

∴ M = 0.0625 × m = [tex]\frac{m}{16}[/tex]

so, The mass =  [tex]\frac{m}{16}[/tex]

Hence The mass of the object if body accelerate at the rate 8 a is [tex]\frac{m}{16}[/tex]  Answer
