Question
c. As the speed of an object is doubled, the acceleration is __________________ (one-fourth, one-half, two times, four times) the original value.
Solution
The statement seems to be a bit misleading. The acceleration of an object doesn't directly depend on its speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity (which includes speed) with respect to time. If an object's speed is doubled, it doesn't necessarily mean its acceleration is also doubled, halved, or quartered. It depends on the time it takes for the speed to double. If the time is also doubled, then the acceleration remains the same. If the time is halved, then the acceleration is doubled, and so on. So, without additional information, we can't definitively answer this question.
