Chapter 5: Q 13. (page 128)

Figure shows an acceleration-versus-force graph for a 500 g object. What acceleration values go in the blanks on the vertical scale?

Short Answer

Expert verified

acceleration are

(a) 4 m/s2

(b) 2 m/s2

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.Given information

in question given the graph which shows an acceleration-versus-force graph for a 500 g object and then define the value of the acceleration in vertical scale using the Newton second law.

02

Step 2 

Newton second Law state that rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to force.

Fαdp→dtF=mdvdtF=maa=Fm........(1)

03

Step 3

(a)

Consider the first condition where mass is 500 g means 0.5kg and force is 2 N

Substitute the above value in equation (1)

a1=F1ma1=2N0.5kga1=4m/s2

04

step 4

(b)

Consider the first condition where mass is 500 g means 0.5kg and force is 1 N

Substitute the above value in equation (1)

a2=F2ma2=1N0.5kga2=2m/s2
