If the net force is doubled and the mass is tripled, what will the new acceleration be

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-11-27] [Hit: ]
I would not have guessed 9.0 meters per sec² because it isnt correct.We know the formula relating force F, mass M and acceleration a is F = ma.Then the acceleration a = F divided by M, or F/m.......
A car is accelerating at a rate of 3.0m/s^2. If the net force is doubled and the mass is tripled, what will the new acceleration be? I want a good explanation please.

No, I would not have guessed 9.0 meters per sec² because it isn't correct.
We know the formula relating force F, mass M and acceleration a is F = ma.
Then the acceleration a = F divided by M, or F/m.
If the present acceleration of the car is 3 meters/sec², doubling the force without
changing the mass will double the acceleration, so if the mass stays constant,
its acceleration will be 6 meters per sec². But if the mass is tripled, the acceleration
will be divided by 3, so the new acceleration will be 2 meters per sec².

Would you ever guess...9.0 meters/second^2
?
