Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.
As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.
The boy sits on a chair.
We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.
The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.
At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2
Hence the weight of the boy
[m is the mass of the body]
we have m = 50 kg.
Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2
=490 N kg m/s^2
= 490 N
Here newton [N] is the unit of force.
Answer:
T =176 N
Explanation:
from diagram
F -(m_1+m_2_g) = (m_1+m_2_g)a
440 - (6+4)g = (6+4)a
a =\frac{440-10*9.8}{10}
a =34.2 m/s^2
frrom free body diagram of mass m2 = 4kg
T -m_2g =m_2a
T = m_2(g +a)
T = 4(9.81+34.2)
T =176 N
Galileo is geocentric, just like all the rest of us.
