an object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. if the net force acting upon this object were doubled, then its new acceleration would be ______ m/s/s.

an object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. if the net force acting upon this object were doubled, then its new acceleration would be ______ m/s/s.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Use Newton's second law

Newton's second law is (F = ma), where (F) is the net force, (m) is the mass, and (a) is the acceleration. Initially, (F_1=m\times a_1), and (a_1 = 6.0\ m/s^2).

Step2: Analyze the situation when force is doubled

When the force is doubled ((F_2 = 2F_1)), since mass (m) remains constant (assuming the object's mass doesn't change), from (F_2=m\times a_2) and (F_2 = 2F_1), (F_1=m\times a_1), we substitute (F_1) into (F_2) equation: (2\times(m\times a_1)=m\times a_2). Canceling out the mass (m) (because (m\neq0)) on both sides of the equation (2a_1=a_2).

Step3: Calculate the new acceleration

Substitute (a_1 = 6.0\ m/s^2) into (a_2 = 2a_1). So (a_2=2\times6.0\ m/s^2).
