In a football game, a defensive lineman exerts a force upon an offensive lineman, causing the offensive lineman to be accelerated backward at 2 m/s2. If the offensive lineman's mass were doubled, how much force would the defensive lineman have to apply to accelerate the offensive lineman 2 m/s2 backward? A. half as much B. twice as much C. four times as much D. the same amount

Respuesta :

the answer is B.twice as much

Answer:

The answer is B (twice as much)

Explanation:

The magnitude, or amount, of an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the force exerted upon it and inversely proportional to its own mass.

In this case, if the offensive lineman's mass were doubled, then the force exerted upon him would also have to be doubled to produce the same acceleration (2 m/s2).
