A system is on a horizontal frictionless table. A single horizontal force of mag

Question

A system is on a horizontal frictionless table. A single horizontal force of magnitude F acts on the system and the resulting acceleration is measured. Forces of various magnitudes act on the system, and the resulting accelerations are measured. The magnitude of the horizontal force is plotted versus the magnitude of the corresponding acceleration. Is it possible for the graphs to appear as indicated? If so, what is the mass of the system? If it is not possible, EXPLAIN why not.

A system is on horizontal table. A single horizontal of magnitude F acts on the system and the resulting are measured. The magnitude of the horizontal force is plotted vursus the magnitude of the corresponding acceleration it is poss for the graph to appear as linkated ? if so what is the mass of the system? If it is not possible, explain why not.

Explanation / Answer

first graph............

when F is zero a = 0.

acceleration is directly proportional to force.........

slope, m = (F2-F1)/(a2 - a1) = 1 kg.
