Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 6 kg object accelerates at 4 m/s². Calculate the force acting on the object. If the object is now subjected to an additional force of 10 N, what will be the new acceleration?
💡 Hint: Calculate the initial force and add the extra force to find the new acceleration.
If a vehicle has a mass of 1200 kg and experiences a net force of 6000 N, determine the acceleration. Then, if the mass is increased by 300 kg without changing the force, what will be the new acceleration?
💡 Hint: Use the relationships defined in F = ma to rearrange for acceleration.
