Question

the formula for force is given by

$f = ma$

where $f$ is force, $m$ is mass, and $a$ is acceleration.

a) solve for $m$ if $f = 650$ and $a = 9.9$. round to one decimal place if necessary.

b) solve for $m$ in general.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate m in general formula

Given $F = ma$, divide both sides by $a$ (assuming $a
eq0$) to get $m=\frac{F}{a}$.

Step2: Substitute values for part a

Substitute $F = 650$ and $a = 9.9$ into $m=\frac{F}{a}$. So $m=\frac{650}{9.9}\approx 65.7$.

Answer:

a) $65.7$
b) $m=\frac{F}{a}$
