That depends on the mass of the object, and the unit of the '46.4' .
If the '46.4' is ' meters per second² ' , then the force required is
(mass of the object in kilograms) x (46.4) newtons .
Answer:In first case
Explanation:
When two People pull the spring, let the applied force by each person be
and spring constant of spring be k
so Total force is
total extension according to Hooke's law is
When they detach the spring and apply force in opposite direction then force on either side is F so net extension is
so in first case there will be more extension
Distance ( say d ) is directly proportional to time ( say t ) .
mathematically ,
d = kt
where k is constant if proportionality .
Now differentiating the above equation with respect to time ,
we get ;
v = k
=> velocity is constant .
=> No acceleration .
