Answer:

  • 1N is the same as 1kgm/s2. F= ma. For m and a, enter the numbers in the appropriate units.
  • For m, solve F = ma: m=F/a.
  • Plug in some numbers for F and a, with proper units, starting with m = F/a. Substitute what I said the N is equivalent to for the N. Cancel as much as you can until kg = kg. It's effective!

*Good luck!
