Question

3.1.2 quiz: newtons laws of motion
question 8 of 10
which equation states newtons second law?
a. m = fa/2
b. m = fa
c. m = a/f
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.

Step2: Rearrange the formula for mass

We can solve $F = ma$ for $m$ by dividing both sides of the equation by $a$. So $m=\frac{F}{a}$.

Answer:

D. $m = F/a$
