Homework Statement
Given a car being pushed by a constant force:
a. How will the acceleration change in relation to the mass of the car? --> Done, it'll decrease
b. How will a graph of acceleration in the y-axis and and (1/m) being the x-axis will look like? What will the slope of the graph mean? --> Trouble with this one
Homework Equations
F = ma
a = F(1/M)
The Attempt at a Solution
For part B, I have already determined the graph should be decreasing, but I have doubts if it's exponential or as (1/x) does. I think it's as (1/x), since F is constant. As to what the slope means, I think it refers to the Inertia of the object in question. I have serious doubts with this though.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
