6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion b) Increases to its doute
d) Remains constant
a) Remains constant,
c) Increases to its four times
​

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration
