To find the acceleration, we can rearrange the formula F=ma to calculate a:
a = F/m
Plugging in the values:
a = 7.92 N / 3.6 kg
a ≈ 2.2 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is approximately 2.2 m/s^2.
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 .
