Question 1065701: If the force acting on an object stays the same, then the acceleration of the object is inversely proportional to its mass. If an object with a mass of 9 kilograms accelerates at a rate of 6 meters per second per second by a force, find the rate of acceleration of an object with a mass of 2 kilograms that is pulled by the same force.
A. 3 meters per second per second
B. 27 meters per second per second
C. 18 meters per second per second
D. 24 meters per second per second

F=ma
F/m=a
F/9=6
F=54
Same F=54 acts on mass of 2 kg.
54/2=27 m/sec^2.
B.
The mass is 2/9 of the first. The acceleration should be the reciprocal or 9/2 times, and 6*9/2=27.
