Same amount of force is acting on car and bus.If the ratio of the bus and car 25:1 calculate the ratio of the acceleration produced in the car to the acceleration produced in the bus

Respuesta :

Answer:

1:25

Explanation:

The force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma ...(1)

m is mass and a is acceleration

It is given that the ratio of force acting on the bus and car 25:1 i.e. [tex]\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{25}{1}[/tex], 1 is for bus and 2 is for car.

We need to find the ratio of the acceleration produced in the car to the acceleration produced in the bus. From equation (1),

[tex]\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=?[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{1}{25}[/tex]

So, the ratio is 1:25.
