An object has an acceleration of 12.0 m/s/s. The net force acting on the object is quadrupled (increased by a factor of four) while the mass of the object is held constant. What will be the new acceleration

Hi there!

By Newton's Second Law:

Where:

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration m/s/s

F = net force (N)

There is a direct relationship between acceleration and force, so:

4F = 4ma = m(4a)

The new acceleration will also be quadrupled, so:

4(12) = 48 m/s/s

b. false

explanation:

suppose a rock in free fall is dropped off a cliff. after falling for 5 seconds, its speed would not be 100 m/s.
