The relationship between the mass of a body (m), the applied force to the body (F) and the acceleration of the body a. is given by the formula:
a. Force = mass x acceleration, F = m x a
b. mass = Force x acceleration, m = F x a
c. acceleration = mass x Force, a = m x F
d. acceleration = mass / Force, a = m / F answer: a
