Question

When Aditya pushes on Rachel and her bicycle, they accelerate at 0.22 m/s/s. If Aditya pushes on Rachel and her bicycle with twice as much force, then her
acceleration will be?

A. 1/4 as much
B. 1/2 as much
C. twice as much
D. the same

Answer 1

Answer:

C. twice as much

Explanation:

As we increase the force on an object the acceleration increases proportionally. Therefore, if you double the force you double the acceleration. If you increase the mass at a given force the rate of acceleration slows. Therefore, mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.
