Question

2. The following formula relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a).

F = ma
(a) Solve this equation for a.
(b) Let the force be units and the mass be m = 10 units. What is the acceleration, a?
(c) Let the force be F = 25 units and the acceleration be a = 5 units. What is the mass, m?

Answer 1

Solving F=ma for m: m=F/a. Thus, if F=25 units and a=5 units, m=25/5 units, or m=5 units.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given: F=ma. To solve for a, we isolate a on one side of this equation. To do this, divide both sides of F=ma by m. Then F/m = a.

Thus, if m=10 units, the acceleration is a = F/10 units. Looks as tho' you were given the numeric value of F but did not share that value here.

Solving F=ma for m: m=F/a. Thus, if F=25 units and a=5 units, m=25/5 units, or m=5 units.
