Answer:

Force / mass

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide mass on both sides to get acceleration by itself leaving you with mass below force hence divide force by mass

Newton’s 2nd : Force = rate of change of momentum
= (mv - mu) / t
= m (v-u) / t
= m a

( since a = (v-u)/t )

From F = m a then a= F/m
