11. how does the force required to accelerate the wheelbarrow change as the mass of the wheelbarrow increases?
11. how does the force required to accelerate the wheelbarrow change as the mass of the wheelbarrow increases?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall Newton's second law
$F = ma$ (where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass, $a$ is acceleration).
Step2: Analyze the relationship
If $a$ is constant and $m$ increases, from $F=ma$, $F$ will increase proportionally.
Answer:
The force required to accelerate the wheel - barrow increases proportionally as the mass of the wheel - barrow increases.
