3.1.2 quiz: newtons laws of motion\nquestion 8 of 10\nwhich equation states newtons second law?\na. m = fa/2\nb. m = fa\nc. m = a/f\nd. m = f/a
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall Newton's second law
Newton's second law is $F = ma$, where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass and $a$ is acceleration.
Step2: Rearrange the formula for mass
We can solve $F = ma$ for $m$ by dividing both sides of the equation by $a$. So $m=\frac{F}{a}$.
Answer:
D. $m = F/a$
