Let

F--------> represent the force

m--------> represent the mass

a-------> represent the acceleration

we know that

The formula that relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a) is equal to

Part a) Solve this equation for a

Divide both sides by the mass

therefore

the answer part a) is equal to

Part b) Let the force be 25 units and the mass be m = 10 units. What is the acceleration, a?

we know that

the formula of acceleration is equal to

in this problem

we have

Substitute the values n the formula

therefore

the answer part b( is equal to

Part c) Let the force be F = 25 units and the acceleration be a = 5 units. What is the mass, m?

we know that

Solve for m

Divide both sides by the acceleration

in this problem

we have

Substitute the values n the formula

therefore

the answer Part c) is
