Question

question 1 of 10
you know the acceleration of an object and the force applied to it which
equation will tell you the mass of the object?
a. ( m = \frac { a } { f } )
b. ( m = \frac { f } { a } )
c. ( m = f a )
d. ( m = f - a )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

Newton's second law is \(F = ma\), where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration. To find mass \(m\), we can rearrange the formula.

Step2: Rearrange the formula for mass

From \(F = ma\), we get \(m=\frac{F}{a}\).

Answer:

C. \(m = \frac{F}{a}\)
