question 14 of 25
for an object of mass m with a force f, which equation can be used to calculate the acceleration of the object?
a. a = f^m
b. a = m/f
c. a = f/m
d. a = fm

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.

Step2: Solve for acceleration

We need to isolate $a$ in the equation $F = ma$. Divide both sides of the equation by $m$. So, $a=\frac{F}{m}$.

Answer:

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