Question

Given the formula for force, F=ma, which answer would you get if you solve for a?

Answer 1

Answer:

a = F/m

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve an equation for a variable, you must isolate the variable.

Because a is being multiplied by m, to undo this operation divide both sides of the equation by m.

$\frac{F}{m} = \frac{ma}{m}$

F/m = a

Answer 2

Answer:

F/m = a

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a, you need to get all the variables on a different side.

F = ma

/m  /m

F/m = a
