Two rubber bands pulling on an object cause it to accelerate at 2.4 m/s2 .

Part A

What will be the object's acceleration if it is pulled by four rubber bands?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

a =  _____________ m/s2  

 

Part B

What will be the acceleration of two of these objects glued together if they are pulled by two rubber bands?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

a =  ______________ m/s2

Still my unreliable knowledge, sorry for that again.

Part A:

Force = mass x acceleration,

Force is doubled, mass constant, acceleration doubles.

a = 2,4 x 2 = 4,8 m/s2

 

Part B:

Still the same formula.

Force is constant, mass doubled, acceleration halves.

a = 2.4/2 = 1.2 m/s2

often_wrong you are probably correct this time :), we got the same answer, we will be not so likely that we are wrong together :)
