Hen a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass , the acceleration of the object is . If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is , what is this object's acceleration?

Incomplete question

Complete question:

a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 44kg , the acceleration of the object is 4m/s². If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 11kg what is this object's acceleration?

8m/s²

Explanation:

From the statement we deduced that acceleration varies inversely with mass where force was kept constant.

Therefore,

F/m = a or F = ma

For the first statement, substituting the mass and acceleration gives:

F = 44 x 4 = 88N

Applying the force above to the second mass gives us:

a = 88/11 = 8m/s²
