Question

Which term is defined as the force applied to the object divided by the mass of the object?

speed
velocity
mass
acceleration

Answer 1

acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question: "FORCE... divided by the MASS..." is translated to a math equation as "F / m", where "F" is the force and "m" is the mass.

Now, the second Newton's law says "F = m . a ", where a is acceleration.

If you move m to the left side, clearly you have "F / m", and "a" is alone to the right. Math equation:

a = F / m

acceleration = force / mass
