PLZ HELP I WILL MEDAL!!!!! 1. The following formula relates three quantities: Force (F), mass (m), and acceleration (a). F = ma (a) Solve this equation for a. (b) If the force is F = –25 units and the mass is m = 10 units, find the acceleration, a. (c) If the force is F = 25 units and the acceleration is a = 5 units, find the mass, m.

To solve for "a" you just need to isolate it on one side of the equal sign. You can do that by using inverse operations on anything on the side "a" is on. This one is easy since there's only one other term there, which is "m." It is being multiplied by "a" so to cancel it we need to do the opposite; divide. So divide both sides by m. That gives us a=F/m

For part b, it wants you to solve for "a" when F=-25 and m=10. So just plug those values into the equation. -25 = 10a Divide both sides by 10 to get your answer. :)

For part c, again, just plug in the information they give you. :) 25 = m5 Divide both sides by 5 to get your answer. :)
