Question

Sean pushes a box with a force of 100 N. Christian pushes an identical box with a force of

200 N. Whose box will accelerate more?

Answer 1

Answer:

Christian

Explanation:

Given that

Force applied by Sean ,F₁=100 N

Force applied by Christian ,F₂=200 N

Lets take mass of the box =  m kg

As we know that from second law of Newton's

F= m a

F=Force,m=mass ,a=acceleration

$F_1=ma_1$

$100=m\times a_1$

$a_1=\dfrac{100}{m}\ m/s^2$

$F_2=ma_2$

$200=m\times a_2$

$a_2=\dfrac{200}{m}\ m/s^2$

From the above we can say that acceleration a₂ is greater than a₁ is for the same mass of the box.

Therefore Christian will acceleration more for the box.
