The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the mass of the object times acceleration due to gravity.  

F = ma
4.9N = m (9.8 m/s^2), note that N (newtons) = kg-m/s^2
<u>m = 0.5 kg</u>
<u>The mass of the object is 0.5kg.</u>

DENIUS [597]
In science and engineering, the weight<span> of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. It is calculated by multiplying the mass with the gravitational acceleration.

W = mg = 1700 (9.81) = 16677 N

Anni [7]
Suppose the stone is thrown at an angle of 39.0° below the horizontal from the same building as in the Example above. If it strikes the ground 47.8 m away, find the following. (Hint: For part (a), use the equation for the x-displacement to eliminate v0t from the equation for the y-displacement.)(a) the time of flight  sThe x coordinate as a function of time is x(t) = vcos(39.0)t, so the initial speed is v0 = Δx/(cos 39.0Δt), where Δx = 47.8 and Δt is the time of flight. Insert this into your equation for y(t) and solve for the time of flight. Note that the answer should be smaller than 3.16227766016838, since the stone is thrown down (and to the right).(b) the initial speed  m/s(c) the speed and angle of the velocity vector with respect to the horizontal at impactspeed  m/sangle °

If you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time you can determine
Nutka1998 [239]
With that information, you can determine the object's speed.
Just divide the distance covered by the time to cover the distance.

If you also know the direction the object moved, then you can
determine its velocity.  If you don't, then you can't.
