According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the force acting on an object varies directly with the object's acceleration. Suppose that a force of 40N results in an acceleration of 4m/s^2. If the force is changed to 30N, what will the object's acceleration become?
-------------
It'll be 3/4 of 4, = 3 m/sec/sec
