When a 9.9 kg object is in free fall, it feels a force of 97.02 N. what is its acceleration?
1 answer:
The acceleration of an object in free fall is
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that:
where
F is the net force on an object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
For the object in this problem, we have:
m = 9.9 kg is its mass
F = 97.02 N is the net force on the object
So, we can rearrange the equation to find its acceleration:
This value is actually known as acceleration of gravity (g), and it is the acceleration that any object in free fall has near the Earth's surface, regardless of its mass.
