ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

For the given different cases, we need to calculate the final acceleration of the object.

Initial a constant force \(F_{0}\) is applied on an object with mass \(m_{0}\) which result the object to accelerate with \(a_{0}=8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). We need to determine the final acceleration of the object \(a_{1}=\) ? when mass and force on the object is changed to \(m_{1}\) and \(F_{1}\) respectively.

Using Newton's second law of motion, the two phases can be related as

                                               \(\frac{F_{0}}{F_{1}}=\frac{m_{0} a_{0}}{m_{1} a_{1}} \ldots \ldots \ldots . .1\)
