For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of 18 N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is 3 m/s2. If the acceleration of the object becomes 5 m/s2, what is the force?

Scenario: susan wants to make 2 square flags to sell at a crafts fair. the fabric she wants to buy is 3 meters wide. she doesn't want any fabric left over. what's the least amount of fabric she should buy? question: which equation will susan solve her problem? note: let x represent the length of 1 side of the flag. options: 1) 2x^2 = 4x 2) 8 +2x = 2(4x) 3) 2 * 2 = 4 * 2 4) 4x^2 -2x = 0
