Compare from greatest to least, the accelerations of these objects:
(a) Net force
(b) Net force
(c) Net force
(d) Net force
The ranking from greatest to least of acceleration of the objects.
Answer to Problem 1TC
The ranking from greatest to least of acceleration of the objects is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: Net force in case (a) is
Write the expression for the force.
Here,
Substitute
Thus, the acceleration of the object in case (a) is
Substitute
Thus, the acceleration of the object in case (b) is
Thus, the acceleration of the object in case (c) is
Substitute
Thus, the acceleration of the object in case (d) is
Conclusion:
Therefore, the ranking from greatest to least of acceleration of the objects is
