Question

The force of an object (f) is equal to its mass (m) times it's acceleration (a) this the formula for calculating force is f= ma. Based on this information, which of the following equations would be used to calculate acceleration

Answer 1

Force/Mass = Acceleration

Answer 2

Explanation:

The force of an object (f) is equal to its mass (m) times it's acceleration (a) this the formula for calculating force is F = ma.

This formula has been derived from Newton's second law of motion as :

F = m a

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

So, the value of acceleration can be calculated as :

`a=(F)/(m)`

So, the acceleration of an object is defined as the force divided by its mass. Hence, this is the required solution.
