Net force f causes mass m1 to accelerate at rate

a. a net force of 3f causes mass m2 to accelerate at rate 2a. what is the ratio of mass m1 to mass m2?

Well, if F = ma, then to find the mass the equation is m = Fa

So then m (1) = Fa (1)

m (2) = F (3) a (2)

Fa (1) : F (3) a (2) should be the ratio, though the question doesn't clarify how simplified this answer needs to be. So it may be incorrect.

1:1.5

Explanation:

Net force f causes mass m1 to accelerate at rate

a. a net force of 3f causes mass m2 to accelerate at rate 2a. what is the ratio of mass m1 to mass m2?

force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

mass is the quantity of matter in a body

acceleration is cane in velocity per time

form newtons second law of motion, we know tat te rate of cane in momentum is directly proportional to te force applied

f=km (v-u) / t.

k=1

(v-u) / t.=a

f=ma

for the first case

f=m1a

m1=f/a

for the second case

3f=m2*2a

m2=3f/2a

equating the first case with the second case

f/a=1.5f/a

the ratio of mass m1 to mass m2
