is it 49n
The correct answer is 49 N. This is because the gravitational force acting on the ball is equal to its weight, which is given by the formula Fg = mg, where m is the mass of the ball and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2). Therefore, Fg = 5 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 49 N.
To calculate the gravitational force acting on the bowling ball, you can use the formula:
force = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Therefore, the gravitational force acting on a 5 kg bowling ball would be:
force = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s^2
= 49 N.
So, the correct answer is 49 N.
