In the equation F = ma, if mass is doubled and acceleration is halved, force becomes MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In the equation F = ma, if mass is doubled and acceleration is halved, force becomes
A. Same
B. Double
C. Four times
D. Half
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
F = m×a. New force F' = (2m)×(a/2) = m×a = F. So force remains unchanged. This is direct proportionality. Understand the relationship: doubling mass doubles force, halving acceleration halves it, net effect no change.

Question #2
A ball is projected horizontally from top of a cliff. The time to hit ground depends on
A. Horizontal velocity
B. Both velocity and height
C. Mass of ball
D. Height of cliff and g

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Vertical motion is independent of horizontal. t = √(2h/g). Mass doesn't affect. Horizontal velocity affects range, not time of fall. Projectile motion independence of perpendicular components.
