Use Excel to determine the acceleration for an object with mass m being pulled b

Question

Use Excel to determine the acceleration for an object with mass m being pulled by a constant, horizontal force (F) on a flat, frictionless surface. What happens to the acceleration if the magnitude of the force doubles? What happens to the acceleration if the mass of the object doubles? What happens to the acceleration if both the mass and the force are doubled? An object with mass m = 100 kg is sitting on a scale in an elevator. Use Excel to determine the reading on the scale (in Newtons) for the following four situations. Elevator accelerating upward at 3 m/s^2 Elevator moving at constant speed Elevator accelerating downward at -3 m/s^2 Elevator accelerating downward at-9.8 m/s^2

Explanation / Answer

Multiple questions I am allowed to answer only 1 question at a time According to the chegg guidelines.

I am answering the first question.

Solution ) We know that According to the newton's second law of motion

F = m * a

a = Force/ mass = 50N / 10 kg = 5 m/s^2

Part a) a = force / mass = 100 N / 10 kg = 10 m/s^2 =====Answer)

Part b) a = force / mass = 50 N / 20 kg = 2.5 m/s^2 ======Answer)

Part c) a = force / mass =100 N / 20 kg = 5 m/s^2 =======Answer)
