Question
Two objects have the same force applied to them. Object A has a mass of 41 point kg and object B has a mass of 8 kg. What is true about their acceleration? The acceleration of A is two times the acceleration of B The acceleration of B is two times the acceleration of A They have the same acceleration because they have the same force You cannot determine their accelerations

The acceleration of B is two times the acceleration of A.
Explicação
## Step 1According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This can be represented by the formula:###
where
is acceleration,
is force, and
is mass.## Step 2In this problem, both objects A and B have the same force applied to them. However, object A has a greater mass than object B.## Step 3Given the formula from Step 1, since the mass of object A is greater than that of object B, the acceleration of object A will be less than that of object B.
