A constant force F is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate to 9 m/s2. What will the acceleration be if: The force is reduced by 1/3 of its original value (so that the new force Fnew = Fold – Fold/3)? The object’s mass is reduced by 1/3 of its original value? The force and the object’s mass are both tripled? The force is tripled, and the mass is reduced by 1/3 of its original value?
