Question

PLZ HELP NOW REALLY IMPORTANT :) 2. The following formula relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a). F = ma a. Solve this equation for a. b. If the force is F = –25 units and the mass is m = 10 units, find the acceleration, a. c. If the force is F = 25 units and the acceleration is a = 5 units, find the mass, m.

Answer 1

2. F = ma

a.) Solve this equation for a (isolate the a)

F = ma     Divide m on both sides

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

b.) F = -25

m = 10

a = ?

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

$a = \frac{-25}{10}$

a = -2.5

c.) F = 25

a = 5

m = ?

F = ma

25 = m(5)   Divide 5 on both sides

5 = m

(don't forget the units, because I forgot to put the units)
