Can someone please explain the math of this problem?
-If F is the force of air resistance on an object with mass m moving at a constant velocity, which of the following best describes the acceleration of the object when the force of air resistance is reduced by a factor of 4?
(a) F/m
(b) 1/2 F/m
(c) 1/4 F/m
(d) 3/4 F/m
The answer is d but I do not understand how to get it. Thanks in advance!
