Question

Which can produce more acceleration; a car or a motorcycle?

Answer 1

If we apply same force on a car and a motorcycle, then the motorcycle will produce more acceleration. 

We know that, Force = Mass × Acceleration 

Now, force is same on both, but 

Mass of Car > Mass of Motorcycle 

Now, using above equation of force,

F = m × a 

Now, F = Constant 

So, a = \(\frac{f}{m}\)

∝ \(\frac{1}{m}\)

So, acceleration of car < acceleration of motorcycle
