OpenStudy (shaima):

i dont even understand this oine last one i understood it

OpenStudy (shaima):

one*

OpenStudy (benji):

So m and a are being multiplied if you want to get a alone how do you undo multiplication?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Shaima How would you solve 2x=4?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

what do you do to solve for x in the example 2x=4? I'm trying to make a point here!

OpenStudy (shaima):

omggg im so confused

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

don't worry we will clear the confusion dear

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

just tell me if you know how to solve in case of numbers an equation like this 2x=4 we will compare this to your question

OpenStudy (shaima):

what does the x stand for?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

its an unknown (something we don't know)

OpenStudy (shaima):

okay

OpenStudy (shaima):

so now what

OpenStudy (shaima):

its 2.5

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so if we wanted to solve 2x=4 we would divide both sides of the equation by 2 2x/2=4/2 this allows us to have only x in the left side (because 2/2=1 and 1 times x is x) so x=4/2=2

OpenStudy (shaima):

F = ma => a = F/m b. a = -25/10; a = -2.5 c. a = 25/5; a = 5

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

if you got this then we shall proceed safely

OpenStudy (shaima):

lol k

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

shaima I'm not doing your problem I'm showing you how any problem of this kind is done

OpenStudy (shaima):

i know what ur doing lol

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

ok good!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so in your case F=ma (m and F we will not treat them as unknown but like number ) so a will be our unknown here

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so same method that I did earlier

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

I want to get a by itself in one side so I need to do what?

OpenStudy (shaima):

idk divide ?

OpenStudy (shaima):

idk

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yeah divide! by what?

OpenStudy (shaima):

wait which one we doing?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

we are doing F=ma solve for a

OpenStudy (shaima):

m = 5

OpenStudy (shaima):

thats all know

OpenStudy (shaima):

@Will.H

OpenStudy (will.h):

What part you still need help with?

OpenStudy (shaima):

all

OpenStudy (will.h):

F= ma Solve for a

OpenStudy (will.h):

Focus on the right side We want to isolate a Since m is multipleD by a what would be done to isolate a?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

sorry I left half way

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so to isolate a in the equation f=ma we need to divide both sides by m F/m =ma/m F/m =a

OpenStudy (shaima):

idk

OpenStudy (will.h):

@shaima still need help?

OpenStudy (shaima):

i have one more.
