The formula that is NOT associated with Newton's 2nd Law is C. \( m = \frac{a}{F} \).
The correct relationships associated with Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed as:
- A. \( F = ma \) (Force equals mass times acceleration)
- B. \( \frac{F}{m} = a \) (Acceleration equals force divided by mass)
However, \( m = \frac{a}{F} \) is incorrect because it implies that mass can be calculated as acceleration divided by force, which does not align with the principles of Newton's 2nd Law. Therefore, option C is not correct as it misrepresents the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force.
