Question

The chart below summarizes the forces applied to four different objects.
Which object will experience the greatest acceleration?
A. Z
B. X
C. Y
D. W

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Y

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, we know that:

       Force = mass x acceleration

So;

      acceleration  = $\frac{Force }{mass}$  

 Therefore, to have the highest acceleration at a constant force, the mass must be low. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

 

Y has the least mass and it will have the highest acceleration
