A 1 kg block drops from a table and accelerates towards the floor at 10 m/s2. What is the force?
F = m*a
10 Newtons.
Actually, on Earth the acceleration would not be quite that high. It would be 9.81 m/s^2
To calculate the force acting on the 1 kg block, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). In this case, the mass (m) is 1 kg and the acceleration (a) is 10 m/s^2.
So, we can calculate the force (F) using the formula: F = m * a.
Substituting the given values, we get:
F = 1 kg * 10 m/s^2
F = 10 kg⋅m/s^2
Therefore, the force acting on the 1 kg block is 10 Newtons (N).
