An object has an acceleration of 12.0 m/s/s. The net force acting on the object is quadrupled (increased by a factor of four) while the mass of the object is held constant. What will be the new acceleration

Hi there!

By Newton's Second Law:

Where:

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration m/s/s

F = net force (N)

There is a direct relationship between acceleration and force, so:

4F = 4ma = m(4a)

The new acceleration will also be quadrupled, so:

4(12) = 48 m/s/s

i had this question and the answer was 3.15 miles.

martina travels from school to her mom's office. from there, she walks to school. after school, she walks to the library and then to a friends house before finally ending back at home. find martina's total distance traveled.

a) 0 miles  

b) 0.4 miles  

c) 1 mile  

d) 3.15 miles
