Question

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a 25-N free falling object?

Answer 1

g = 9.8 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

All bodies fall to the ground with an acceleration g = 9.8 m/s²

Body weight is irrelevant...

Answer 2

9.81 or 10 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any object under free-fall experiences an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 (assuming downward is the positive direction), but for simplicity we will round it to 10 m/s^2.

Knowing this, we can also find the mass by dividing 25 by 10 (m = Fg/g) which is 2.5kg.
