Problema Solution
According to newton's second law of motion, the force acting on an object varies directly with the object's acceleration. Suppose that a force of 70 N results in an acceleration of 7 m/s^2. If the force is changed to 60 N, what will the object's acceleration become?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'a' be the acceleration.
The force acting on an object varies directly with the object's acceleration thus we can write the following proportion:
70/7 = 60/a

a = 6 m/s^2
The object's acceleration will become 6 m/s^2.
