Question

which equation can be used to find acceleration based on newtons second law of motion?
$a=\frac {f}{m}$
$a=\frac {m}{f}$
$a=fm$
$a=mg$

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

To find \(a\), divide both sides of \(F = ma\) by \(m\). So \(a=\frac{F}{m}\).

Answer:

\(a=\frac{F}{m}\) (the first option if we assume the first option is \(a = \frac{F}{m}\) based on the general form of Newton's second - law rearrangement)
