Using this formula,what is the acceleration of an object with F=7.92 Newton’s and m=3.6 kilograms? Express your answer to the nearest tenth

Question

In physics class, Carrie learns that a force ,F is equal to the mass of an object , m, times it’s acceleration, a She writes the equation as F=ma then realizes that each of her homework probelms ask her to solve the acceleation 

 

She rewrites the formual as f/m=a.

Answer 1

Her formula is correct.

 

F = ma ⇒ a = F/m

 

a = F/m = (7.92 N)/(3.6 kg) = 2.2 m/s²
