Question 410212: My homework is in Solving Formulas. The teacher did not explain the problems. Me homework is:
F = ma, for a
Could you please give me a detailed example of how to figure out this formula? Thank you! Found 2 solutions by solver91311, josmiceli:Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Solving a formula for a given variable means to rearrange the formula so that the "solve for" variable is by itself on one side of the equals sign and everything else is on the other side. For this one, divide by .

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The basic rule is:
Whatever you do to one side of the (=) sign, you must
do to the other side. When you're done, the left side
is still equal to the right side.
Suppose I say
Is it OK to divide both sides by 3? yes
because any number divided by itself = 1
-----------
F = ma
I can divided both sides by m
F/m = ma/m
This is the same as
F/m = (m/m) x a
and notice m/m = 1, so
F /m = a
That's the answer
Hope this helps
