(a)
Graph between mass and acceleration
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Acceleration depends upon the force applied and the mass of the object. For a constant force the acceleration and mass are inversely proportional.
The mass is taken on the x -axis and the acceleration is taken on the y -axis.
(b)
Conclusion from graph.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Acceleration depends upon the force applied and the mass of the object. For a constant force the acceleration and mass are inversely proportional.
As the relation between the mass and the acceleration for a constant force is inverse, the slope of the graph is negative.
Conclusion:
The slope between mass and acceleration is negative.
(c)
The equation relating acceleration to mass, given by the data.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Acceleration depends upon the force applied and the mass of the object. For a constant force the acceleration and mass are inversely proportional.
The relation between the mass and the acceleration for a constant force is inverse, the slope of the graph is negative.
Where, a is the acceleration, m is the mass and c is a constant.
Conclusion:
(d)
Units of the constant.

Answer to Problem 60A
Units of constant are Newton and
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Where a is the acceleration, m is the mass and c is a constant.
Formula used:
Where a is the acceleration, m is the mass and c is a constant.
Calculation:
Substituting the units in the equation.
These are also the units force.
Conclusion:
Units of constant care Newton or
