Which equation can be used to solve for the mass of the object?
HarlieCole
Thanks to Isaac newton's Second Law of Motion, one can determine the mass of an object if he or she knows both the force acting upon the object and the acceleration of the object. Newton's equation is as follows:
F = ma;
where "F" is the force acting upon the object, "m" is the mass of the object. and "a" is the acceleration of the object. Solving for "m", the equation can be rewritten as:
m = F/m.
Substitute force for "F", and acceleration for "a", and you can solve for the mass of the object.

What property is used to solve the equation?
It depends on the equation that is being solved.
What is the definition of mass in math?
Mass is the amount of matter present in any given chunk (i.e. size/volume) of space. In mathematical terms, m=F/a (i.e. mass = Force divided by acceleration). This equation is obtained by manipulating Newton's Second law, F=ma.An object's mass can be measured by first finding the weight of the object, the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth (~9.8m/s^2) and then using "Newton's Second Law" (F=ma, i.e. Force=mass x acceleration) to solve for the mass.Extra Note:Because the most often used process of finding the mass of an object requires weighing it, people often confuse the mass of an object as being equivalent to the weight of an object. This is NOT true since weight is a "force", not a quantity of mass. if it where true, then Newtons famous equation, F=ma, would instead be F=m. Which is incorrect.Interesting Fact:This confusion is apparent in the European us of Kg (mass unit) for measuring weight. When if fact the proper unit is "Newtons" if they are wanting to find the Weight of the object. However this system still works because the weight and the mass are proportional since the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth does not change.

The quadratic formula can be used to solve an equation only if the highest degree in the equation is 2.
Which word equation is used to calculate the acceleration of a object?
Acceleration is "force divided by mass" or "change in velocity with respect to change in time".
What is the quadratic equation used for?
It is used to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored. Usually you would factor a quadratic equation, identify the critical values and solve, but when you cannot factor you utilize the quadratic equation.
