In physics class, Carrie learns that a force, F, is equal to the mass of an object, m, times its acceleration, a. She writes the

equation F=ma.
Using this formula, what is the acceleration of an object with F=7.92 newtons and m=3.6 kilograms? Express your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step is by rearranging the formula

F=ma

M=f/a

A=f/m

2nd step is use the acceleration formula

A=f/m (acceleration=force divided by mass)

3rd step answer the question using the formula

A=?

F= 7.92N

M=3.6Kg --- 3600g (optional)

A=7.92/3600= 0.0022N/g or 7.92 / 3.6= 2.2N/Kg

4th step turning them to the nearest tenth

0.0022N/g= 0.0N/g or 2.2N/Kg= 2.2N/kg

DONE

TO SEE IF THE ANSWER IS CORRECT USE THE F=MA formula

Answer:

2 m/ s

a = F / m

a= 7.92 / 3.6

ie . 2.2 m/ s
