A body A mass `m_(1)` exerts a force on another body B of mass `m_(2)` . If the acceleration of B be `a_(2)` , then the acceleration (in magnitude) of A is

A

Zero

B

`m_(2)a_(2)//m_(1)`

C

`m_(1)a_(2)//m_(2)`

D

`a_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`F=m_(2)a_(2)=m_(1)a_(1)`
`therefore a_(1)=(m_(2))/(m_(1))a_(2)`
