Which would require a greater force - accelerating a 10 g mass at 5 m/ `s^(2)` or 20 g mass at 2 m/`s^(2)`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which scenario requires a greater force, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a), or F = m * a. ### Step 1: Convert masses from grams to kilograms 1. **For the 10 g mass:** \[ \text{Mass} = 10 \text{ g} = \frac{10}{1000} \text{ kg} = 0.01 \text{ kg} \] ...
