Answer:

m = F/a

Step-by-step explanation:

From newtons second law of motion, the force applied to mass (m) of an object is directly to its acceleration(a).

Mathematically, Force = mass×acceleration

F = ma

To derive the mass m from the formula, we will divide both sides of the equation acceleration (a)

F/a = ma/a

F/a=m

Rearranging the formula for 'm' will therefore give us;

m = F/a

Mass = Force/ acceleration

This shows that the ratio of the apples force to the acceleration of an object is equivalent to its mass.
