Question

A mass of 2.50 kg is in a gravitational field of 14.0 N/kg. What force acts on the mass?

Answer 1

To determine the force that acts on the mass, just multiply the mass by the gravitational field. Using the given data,
                             F = (2.50 kg)(14 N/kg) = 35 N
Therefore, the force that acts on the mass is equal to 35 N. 

Answer 2

Answer:

$F= 2.5 Kg * 14 \frac{N}{Kg}= 35N$

So then the force acting on the mass for this gravitational field is 35N

Explanation:

The gravitational field is defined as the force that acts on an object of mass m. By definition we have that :

$F= ma$ from the second law of Newton.

In our case the value of a represent the acceleration or the gravitational field, so then the expression for the gravitational field is:

$g = \frac{F}{m}$

For this case we know that $g= 14.0 \frac{N}{kg}$ and $m=2.5 kg$

So if we replace and find F we got:

$F= 2.5 Kg * 14 \frac{N}{Kg}= 35N$

So then the force acting on the mass for this gravitational field is 35N
