Q
Q: A 2 kg mass is dropped from a height. What is the force acting on it just before it hits the ground? (2022)
Solution:
The force acting on it is its weight, F = mg = 2 kg × 10 m/s² = 20 N.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the mass of the object. In this case, the mass is 2 kg.
Step 2: Understand that the force acting on the object just before it hits the ground is its weight.
Step 3: Use the formula for weight, which is F = mg, where F is the force (weight), m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula. Here, m = 2 kg and g = 10 m/s².
Step 5: Calculate the force: F = 2 kg × 10 m/s² = 20 N.
Step 6: Conclude that the force acting on the mass just before it hits the ground is 20 N.
