False. there's less gravitational force in space than on earth
I can answer it in the comments, but can i ask what i’m supposed to do exactly? i remember learning about this stuff but i need the instructions.
Answer:
39.2m/s
Explanation:
The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.
PE = KE
mgh = (1/2)mv
2gh=v
v=(2)(9.81)(2)
v=39.24m/s
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.
Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.
The solution is C. 12.7 N.
