Question

  1. in the formula f = ma, where f is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration, how would you solve for m?

a. m = \frac{f}{a}
b. m = f - a
c. m = fa
d. m = f + a

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate m in the formula

Given $F = ma$, divide both sides by a.
$\frac{F}{a}=\frac{ma}{a}$

Step2: Simplify the right - hand side

Since $\frac{ma}{a}=m$ (a≠0), we get $m=\frac{F}{a}$.

Answer:

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