If Jim applies 15 N of force to a box, what will happen to the acceleration of the box if he adds more mass to it? Group of answer choices

The acceleration goes up and down

The box will accelerate faster

The acceleration will remain the same

The acceleration will decrease

The acceleration will decrease.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. As the mass increases (when force is constant), the acceleration decreases. This can be represented in the following formula:

As the mass of the box increases while applying the same amount of force, it will not move as fast as it did when the box contained less mass.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
