Question

The formula F = ma shows the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. Solve this formula for a.

A. a = F + m
B. a = F – m
C. a = Fm
D. a = F divided by m

Answer 1

F=ma => a=F/m
The answer to your question is D. I hope this is the answer that you are looking for and it comes to your help.

Answer 2

The answer is D. This means that is you have a determined amount of force (in newtons) being applied on an object of known mass (in kilograms), then to determine the acceleration of the object, divide the force by the mass (or multiplying the force with the inverse of the mass of the object). This behavior of objects is stipulated in Newtons/ second law. Increasing the force increases the acceleration while increasing the mass decreases the acceleration of the object. Acceleration is a vector quantity meaning it has magnitude and direction.
