Question 10 — The acceleration-mass graph for - Questions at the end of the chapter - Chapter 6 - How Forces Affect Motion (Exploration)

Last updated at June 28, 2026 by

The acceleration-mass graph for the acceleration produced by a force on objects of different masses is plotted in Fig. 6.40. Plot the force-mass graph for this case.

Since F = ma and the same force acts, the force is constant for every mass. Checking the graph, a × m is the same at each point (for example 1 kg × 10 m s −2 = 10 N, 2 kg × 5 m s −2 = 10 N), so F = 10 N throughout.

The force-mass graph is therefore a straight horizontal line at F = 10 N , parallel to the mass axis.
