Question

When a body is dropped from a height it falls with an acceleration of 10m/s square . If it's mass is 250g . How much force is exerted on it downward ?who exerts this force on the body

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5N

Explanation:

Given a=10m/s² , m=250×10⁻³=0.25kg

F=ma=0.25×10=2.5N

This is the weight of the body. And the force applied on the body is also called gravitation pull acting on a free-falling body

Answer 2

Answer:

2.5 N

Explanation:

Acceleration = 10 m/s^2

Mass = 250 g = 0.25 kg

Force = mass × acceleration

= 0.25 × 10

= 2.5 N
