Question 1099256: 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
70 N results in an acceleration of 7 /ms 2. If the force is changed to 40 N, what will the object's acceleration become?

F=ka
F%5B1%5D%2Fa%5B1%5D=F%5B2%5D%2Fa%5B2%5D
70%2F7=40%2Fa%5B2%5D
70a%5B2%5D=40%2A7
a%5B2%5D=%2840%2F70%297
Work that out for the answer in m%2Fs%5E2
