Jodie sets two objects on a flat surface. Object A has a mass of 50g, while object B has a mass of 250g. Jodie pushes both objects with the same force and watches them accelerate. Which object will accelerate more?

A

Neither object accelerates.

B

They accelerate the same amount.

C

Object A accelerates more.

D

Object B accelerates more.

Verified Answer :

the answer is C.Object A accelerates more.
it has less gravity and lesser friction reacting on it.

Answer:

C.  Object A accelerates more.

Explanation:

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the force (F) acting on an object is given by the product of its mass (m) and the acceleration (a) produced by the force.

\(F = ma---(1)\)

It is given that:

Mass of object A = 50 g

Mass of object B = 250 g

Force on A = Force on B

Based on equation (1) :

\(m(A)*a (A) = m(B)*a(B)\\\\\frac{a(A)}{a(B)} =\frac{m(B)}{m(A)} =\frac{250}{50} = 5\\\\a(A) = 5*a(B)\)

Therefore, object A will accelerate five times more than B
