Asked by BOBO

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 .

a = F/m = 7.92 N / 3.6 kg = 2.2 m/s^2.

(Note: 1 newton = 1 kg·m/s^2.)
