Question:
An object experiences a net force and accelerates from rest to its final position in 16 s. How long would the object take to reach the same final position from rest if the object’s mass was four times larger?
An object experiences a net force and accelerates from rest to its final position in 16 s. How long would the object take to reach the same final position from rest if the object’s mass was four times larger?
Show Hint
If force is constant, increasing mass reduces acceleration.

- 64 s
- 32 s
- 16 s
- 8 s
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.
Time taken varies inversely with acceleration, hence doubles.
