Concept explainers
If the net force acting on a sliding block is tripled, what happens to the acceleration?
To explain: Effect on acceleration for the given condition.
Answer to Problem 5A
The acceleration gets tripled,
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Force on the sliding block is tripled.
Formula Used:
From Newton’s second law, the net force is given as
Where,
Calculation:
Let, the initial force on the block is F , mass of the block is m and acceleration is a ,
If force is tripled then
Mass of the block remains same,
Now,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the acceleration gets tripled that is
