Problem 2 - Olympiad

A force of 10 N acts on a body and produces an acceleration of 2 m/s^2. If the force is increased to 15 N, what will be the acceleration of the body?

Correct: B

Using the formula F = ma, we can calculate the mass of the body: m = F/a = 10/2 = 5 kg. Now, if the force is increased to 15 N, the new acceleration can be found using the same formula: a = F/m = 15/5 = 3 m/s^2.
