A 10-kg object is falling, with a 15 N air resistance acting on it. What is the net force acting on that object? Use acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s 2 . a. 5 N b. 85 N c. 100 N d. 150 N
The net force can be calculated using the equation:
Net force = mass x acceleration
Given that the object has a mass of 10 kg and acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s^2, the net force can be calculated as follows:
Net force = 10 kg x 10 m/s^2 = 100 N
Therefore, the correct answer is c. 100 N.
