I have this assignment in physics class and I'm stuck on this 1 question.
What we were doing: We were hanging 0.10kg, 0.20kg weights etc.. on a Newton scale and we were recording the force of gravity. For 0.10kg I recorded 1 N, 0.20kg was 2 N, and so on until 1kg was 10 N.
So the question is: Write and equation relating force of gravity, mass, and the numerical value of the gravitational field intensity of Earth from this activity.
I was thinking Fnet = ma, so 1 N = 0.10kg a. Probably way off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
