Here, height is given which will be the distance for a freely falling object.
The velocity will be

and the acceleration will be

In this way, the formula works.
Answer:
The net force is zero.
Explanation:
Two opposing and equal forces cancel each other out, giving you a net force of zero.
Explanation:
1. Force applied on an object is given by :
F = W = mg
(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb
g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²


m = 5 kg
(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb


m = 0.059 kg
2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

Hence, this is the required solution.
When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.
