A net force F acts on a mass m and produces an acceleration a. What acceleration results if a net force 4F acts on a mass 6m?

The acceleration results if a net force of 4F acts on a mass of 6m is 2/3a.

Explanation:

Force exerted on an object can be defined as a pull or a push on an object which leads to it's displacement. Force is taken to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. The formula which can be used to determine force exerted on an object in physics is:

F= mass( kg) × acceleration( m/ s²)

Acceleration is defined as the rate at which the velocity of an object changes. From the formula of force given above it can be determined by making it the subject of formula. Therefore acceleration= Force/ mass.

From the question,

Force= 4F

Mass= 6m

Therefore acceleration= F/m

= 4/6

Acceleration= 2/3a
