The sum of all the forces = 0

There is a special way to write this with a "summation" symbol, but I don't know how to type it here. The equation should be; sigma F = 0 (with an uppercase sigma).

When we calculate the net force acting on the object in these situations, we use the formula: FNET = Fa + Ff

When you want to calculate the acceleration of an object, always use the net force acting on it: FNET = ma

We need to think of the net force as the force pushing down on the scale causing it to give a reading. For example: The elevator pushing up on me will make me push down on the floor (Newton's 3rd Law). We will show this by making the acceleration (3.0m/s2) a negative value. The formula for this would look like this: FNET = Fg + Fa

Fnet external=mtotalaof all. This only works if all the accelerations are equal.

If the formula to calculate work is distance divided by time how do you apply the formula?

You would have a very tough time, because that isn't the formula to calculate work. (distance) divided by (time) is the formula to calculate speed. The formula to calculate work is: (force) multiplied by (distance).
