Question

In physics class, Carrie learns that a force, F, is equal to the mass of an object, m, times its acceleration, a. Shewrites the equation F=ma.Using this formula, what is the acceleration of an object with F=7.92 newtons and m=3.6 kilograms?

Answer 1

Given:

F=7.92 newtons

m=3.6 kilograms

Required:

To find the value of accelaration a.

Explanation:

Since we know that

$F=ma$

Where m= mass

F= force

Now substitute the given values in the formula.

$\begin{gathered} 7.92=3.6\times a \\ a=\frac{7.92}{3.6} \\ a=2.2 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Thus the accelaration of the object is the

$2.2\text{ m/sec}^2$
