2. The following formula relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a).
F = ma
(a) Solve this equation for a.
(b) Let the force be units and the mass be m = 10 units. What is the acceleration, a?
(c) Let the force be F = 25 units and the acceleration be a = 5 units. What is the mass, m?

Respuesta :

a) f=ma

a=f/m

b) are You sure you typed it correct?

c) f=ma

25=m(5)
m=25/5
m=5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Since we have F  = ma and we have to solve for a

                     there is multiplication between m and a and in order to solve for a ,we need to apply opposite operation of  multiplication ,therefore dividing both sides by m ,we get [tex]\frac{F}{m}=a[/tex]

(b)  Let F be the force and m = 10 units is mass

        acceleration =  [tex]\frac{force}{mass}[/tex] [ If we have given value of F then we divide the value of F by 10 to get acceleration  value.

                               = [tex]\frac{F}{10}[/tex]

(c)   Mass m  will be  given by equation

            [tex]m=\frac{F}{a} =\frac{25}{5} =5 units[/tex]
