A force F with arrow applied to an object of mass m1 produces an acceleration of 3.10 m/s2. The same force applied to a second object of mass m2 produces an acceleration of 1.80 m/s2.(a) What is the value of the ratio m1/m2?(b) If m1 and m2 are combined into one object, find its acceleration under the action of the force F with arrow.

(a) The value of the ratio m₁/m₂ is 0.581

(b)  the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

The acceleration of force applied to M₁, a₁ = 3.10 m/s²

The same force applied to M₂ has acceleration, a₂ = 1.80 m/s²

Let this force = F

According Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

(a) the value of the ratio m₁/m₂

since the applied force is same in both cases,  M₁a₁ = M₂a₂

(b) the acceleration of m₁ and m₂ combined as one object under the action force F

F = ma

Therefore, the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

they start with the same

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
