Question

Rearrange the formula F = mg + ma for a.

A) a = Fm - g
B) a=m/F+g
C) a=m/F-g
D) a= F/m-g

Answer 1

Ok work is shown below:

F = mg + ma

-ma + F = mg

-ma = mg - F

-a = g - F/m

a = F/m - g

Hope this helps you out!

Answer 2

ANSWER

The correct answer is option D.


`a = (F)/(m)-g`



EXPLANATION

The given formula is



`F = mg + ma`


We want to solve this formula for a, so we add


`- mg`

to both sides of the equation to get,



`F - mg=ma`


We now divide through by m, to obtain,


`(F)/(m) - (mg)/(m) = (ma)/(m)`


Let us cancel out the common factors to get,


`(F)/(m) - g =a`

We can also rewrite this to obtain,


`a = (F)/(m)-g`
Therefore the correct answer is D.
