Mass of a body is doubled. What happens to its acceleration under a given force?

Equal forces acting on two different bodies always produce the same acceleration.

Knowledge Check

  • Assertion : If both the speed of a body and radius of its circular path are doubled, then centripetal force also gets doubled. Reason : Centripetal force is directly proportional to both speed of a body and radius of circular path.

    A
    If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
    C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
    D
    If the assertion and reason both are false.
