A constant force applied to object A causes it to accelerate at 5 m/s2. The same force applied to object B causes an acceleration of 3 m/s2. Applied to object C, it causes an acceleration of 7 m/s2. A. Which object has the largest mass?B. Which object has the smallest mass?C. What is the ratio of mass A to mass B?

(A) object B has the largest mass because it has the least acceleration

(B) object C has the smallest mass because it has the largest acceleration

(C) mass A : mass B = 3 : 5

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of object A = 5 m/s²

acceleration of object B = 3 m/s²

acceleration of object C = 7 m/s²

A constant force, F

According to Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

m = F / a

Mass of object A:

m = F / 5

Mass of object B:

m = F / 3

Mass of object  C:

m = F / 7

(A). Which object has the largest mass:

object B has the largest mass because it has the least acceleration

(B). Which object has the smallest mass:

object C has the smallest mass because it has the largest acceleration

(C). What is the ratio of mass A to mass B;

mass A = F / 5

mass B = F / 3
