Two objects experience the same net force. Object A has mass 2 kg and object B has mass 6 kg. What is the ratio of their accelerations (a_A : a_B)?
Explanation
📌 Since a = F/m, and F is the same, a is inversely proportional to m. m_A/m_B = 2/6 = 1/3, so a_A/a_B = 3/1 = 3:1. Distractor B: inverted; C: ignored mass; D: gave mass ratio, not acceleration ratio.
