Question 88325 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

If you know the force applied to an object and measure its acceleration, which equation would you use to calculate the object’s mass?

Answer
A
m = Fa
B
m = aF
C
m = a/F
D
m = F/a

Explanation

Newton’s second law is F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Divide both sides by a to solve for mass: m = F/a. Therefore, the correct choice is D, m = F/a.
