m = f/a
m = a/f
m = fa

Answer 1

The correct equation for solving for mass (m) if you know the force (f) acting on an object and the acceleration (a) of the object is:

m = f/a

This equation is derived from Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). By rearranging this equation to solve for mass, we get \( m = \frac{F}{a} \).
