The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration. Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2. So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

So, what is a force? A force is a push or a pull exerted on one object from another. Forces make things move. You can make something start or stop when you push or pull an object.
There are many different types of forces in action in football. A player kicking a football is a force that makes the football fly through the air. A quarterback throwing a football is another example of a force that makes the football fly in a game.
When studying the concept of force, we can look to history to find mathematical principles that guide the laws of motion. Sir Isaac Newton was one of the most famous scientists of the 17th century to study the laws of forces and motion. Through careful study of how objects react to various forces, Newton developed the Three Laws of Motion. Below are explanations of each law and how these laws can be applied to football.
Answer:
D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact or not.
Explanation:
- The gravitational force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having mass. This force is always attractive and its magnitude is given by
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the two masses, and r is the distance between the two masses.
- The electrical force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having electrical charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the sign of the two charges, and its magnitude is given by
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r the distance between the two charges.
Looking at both formulas, we see that the two forces are present even when the two objects are not in contact with each other (in fact, r can assume any value in the formula). They are said to be non-contact forces. Therefore, the correct option is
D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact or not.
