Question

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 = fm   B. a = f + m   C. a = f − m   D. a = f ÷ m

Answer 1

Your answer would be D. Bc you haven't divide a from b to get f on the other side if the equation.

Answer 2

D.
`a=f/ m`.

Explanation:

We are given that force of an object and we have to find the equation would be used to calculate the acceleration

Mass of object=m

Acceleration of an object= a

Force of an object=f

We are given that force of an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.

Therefore , the formula for calculating force

f=ma

Because we are given this formula

Now , we have find the equation which is used to calculate acceleration

Then by division property of equality we have

`a=f/ m`

Hence, the equation would be used to calculate acceleration
`a=f/ m`.Therefore, option D is true.
