A 31.9 N object is in free fall.
What is the magnitude of the net force
which acts on the object?
Answer in units of N.
Never mind I got it
If it is in free fall, only gravity is working on it. The net force acting on the object is 31.9N
To find the magnitude of the net force acting on a free-falling object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force (F_net) acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a). Mathematically, this can be represented as:
F_net = m * a
In the case of an object in free fall, the acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g), which is approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth. Given the mass of the object, we can calculate the net force.
However, in the given question, the mass of the object is not provided. In order to determine the net force, we need the mass of the object. If you have this information, you can simply multiply the mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) to find the net force acting on the object.
