Two objects are located on an airtrack. The magnitude of the charge on object A is 3 times higher than on object B, and object A also has a 8 times higher mass than object B. Which one of the following is true for the magnitudes of the accelerations (not drawn to scale or necessarily in the correct direction) ? a. laAl = 3laBlb. |aA|=|aB|/8c. |aA|=24|aB|d. |aA|=8|aB|e. 3|aA|=|aB|d. 24|aA|=|aB|e. Cannot tell, since we need to know the sign of the charges. f. Cannot tell, since we need to know the distance between the charges. g. Cannot tell, since we need to know the current velocity of the charges

Option f is true. cannot tell since we need to know the distance between two charges

Explanation:

Distance between two charges is a factor in the force between them that is F = m * A = (k * q1 * q2) / r²

Where f = force, m = acceleration, a = acceleration, k = constant, q1 and q2 = charges, r = distance between the two charges.

Since r is not giving, magnitude of acceleration can't be determined.
