If an object of mass 2 kg is released from a fixed position from a height of 100 m, how much force does the object exert on the surface of the earth as it falls?



Answer :

Answer:

=19.6N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the object on the surface of the Earth as it falls is equal to its weight, which is the force due to gravity acting on the object.

The weight of an object can be calculated using the formula:

Weight=mass×acceleration due to gravity

Given:

Mass (m) of the object = 2 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) near the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.8m/s

Substituting the values into the formula:

Weight=2kg×9.8m/s2=19.6

 

=19.6N

Therefore, the force exerted by the object on the surface of the Earth as it falls is approximately

19.6N
