Question

Denise is conducting a physics experiment to measure the acceleration of a falling object when it slows down and cones to a stop. She drops a wooden block with a mass of 0.5 kilograms on a sensor on the floor. The sensor measures the force of the impact as 4.9 newtons. What’s the acceleration of the wooden block when it hits the sensor’s? Use f= ma.

Answer 1

The acceleration is 9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

f = ma is the same as 4.9 = 0.5a

4.9 divided by 0.5 is 9.8
