In physics class, Carrie learns that a force, F, is equal to the mass of an object, m, times its acceleration, a. She writes the equation F=ma.

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

Note: The unit for Force (the Newton) is measured in .

Do you have any ideas on how to solve? Any experience with this type of problem?

Gdeinward · Answer

First we must input our known values:
F=MA
7.92 = 3.6 * X

Gdeinward · Answer

Then we solve for x
