Answer:

(a) [tex]a= \frac{F}{m}[/tex]

(b) [tex]a = \frac{1}{5}[/tex] units.

(c) m = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Force (F), mass (m) and acceleration (a) are related by the equation F = ma.

(a) We have to solve this equation for a.

So, F = ma ........ (1)

⇒ [tex]a= \frac{F}{m}[/tex] ..... (2) (Answer)

(b) If F = 1 units and m = 5 units, then from equation (1), we get

[tex]a = \frac{1}{5}[/tex] units. (Answer)

(c) If F = 25 units and a = 2.5 units.

Then from equation (1), we get,

[tex]m = \frac{F}{a} = \frac{25}{2.5} =10[/tex] units. (Answer)
