A 1000 kg whale is dropped at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. With what force will it hit the ground?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

If your teacher doesn't ask u to turn kg into lb:

F = m × a

F = 1000kg × 9,8m/s2

F = 9800N

If she does ask u then:

m= 1000kg × 2,206 = 2204.62lb

use the same formula

The force with which the whale will hit the ground is 9800 Newtons.

Given the data in the question:

  • Mass of whale; [tex]m = 1000kg[/tex]
  • Acceleration at which the whale was dropped; [tex]a = 9.8m/s^2[/tex]

Force; [tex]F = \ ?[/tex]

To determine the force with which the whale will hit the ground, we use Newton's second law of Motion;

[tex]F = m * a[/tex]

We substitute our values into the equation

[tex]F = 1000kg * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 9800kgm/s^2\\\\F = 9800N[/tex]

Therefore, the force with which the whale will hit the ground is 9800 Newtons.
