In physics class, Carrie learns that a force, F, is equal to the mass of an object, m, times its acceleration, a. She

writes the equation F=ma.
Using this formula, what is the acceleration of an object with F=7.92 newtons and m=3.6 kilograms? Express your
answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

2.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Fill in the given values and solve for the unknown variable.

F = m·a

7.92 = 3.6·a

7.92/3.6 = a = 2.2 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of "a"

The units of this answer are Newtons/kilogram = meters/second/second. We abbreviate those units as m/s².

The acceleration is 2.2 m/s².
