To rearrange the formula \( F = ma \) to express \( m \) in terms of \( F \) and \( a \), we need to isolate \( m \). Here are the steps:
-
Start with the original equation: \[ F = ma \]
-
To isolate \( m \), divide both sides by \( a \): \[ m = \frac{F}{a} \]
Thus, the rearranged formula with \( m \) as the quantity of interest is: \[ m = \frac{F}{a} \]
