Question

If T= F and F=ma Solve for m when T=10& a=2

Answer 1

m = 5

Explanation:

T = F; F = ma; ∴ T = ma

It is given that T = 10, and a = 2. Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables.

T = ma

10 = 2m

Isolate the variable, m. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 2 from both sides:

(10)/2 = (2m)/2

m = 10/2

m = 5

m = 5 is your answer.
