Question

A snowflake (1.5 x 10-9 kg) falls to Earth's surface under gravity (9.8 m/s2). What is the force of the snowflake?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.47×10¯⁸ N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 1.5×10¯⁹ Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

The force of the snowflake can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mg

Where:

F => is the force

m => is the mass

g => is the acceleration due to gravity

F = mg

F = 1.5×10¯⁹ × 9.8

F = 1.47×10¯⁸ N

Thus the force of the snowflake is 1.47×10¯⁸ N
