Question
What is the net force acting on a falling 1-kg ball if it encounters 2 $\mathrm{N}$ of air resistance?
Step 1
The force of gravity (F) is given by the equation F = m*g, where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, m = 1 kg and g = 9.8 m/s². So, the force of gravity is F = 1 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 9.8 N. Show more…
