Question

5. The force of an object (f) is equal to its mass (m) times its acceleration (a). Thus, the formula for calculating force is f = ma. Based on this information, which of the following equations would be used to calculate acceleration? A. a = f ÷ m B. a = fm C. a = f − m D. a = f + m

Answer 1

f = ma
to isolate a divide both sides by m
f/m = ma/m

f/m = a

A is the correct choice

Answer 2

A.acceleration=force divided by mass
