Answer:
We conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.
Hence, option D is correct.
Explanation:
Given
- Force F = 500 N
- Acceleration a = 75 m/s²
To determine
Mass m = ?
Important Tip:
- The mass of a rock can be found using the formula F = ma
Using the formula
where
- F is the force (N)
- m is the mass (kg)
- a is the acceleration (m/s²)
now substituting F = 500, and a = 75 m/s² in the formula
switch sides
Divide both sides by 75
simplify
kg
Therefore, we conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.
Hence, option D is correct.
<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />
According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.
Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is
Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.
Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:
If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
