Question

2. The following formula relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a).

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) $a= \frac{F}{m}$

(b) $a = \frac{1}{5}$ units.

(c) m = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Force (F), mass (m) and acceleration (a) are related by the equation F = ma.

(a) We have to solve this equation for a.

So, F = ma ........ (1)

⇒ $a= \frac{F}{m}$ ..... (2) (Answer)

(b) If F = 1 units and m = 5 units, then from equation (1), we get  

$a = \frac{1}{5}$ units. (Answer)

(c) If F = 25 units and a = 2.5 units.

Then from equation (1), we get,

$m = \frac{F}{a} = \frac{25}{2.5} =10$ units. (Answer)
