Yes, good job!DubKing said:would that mean I need f/m=a to solve?
No, check out your algebra and basic knowledge of Physics. If a=f/m, and f=1 N and m= 1 kg, then a =? I think you're confusing mass with weight. They are not the same.DubKing said:Is the acceleration 9.80? 1/.102=9.80 m/sec/sec?
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity over time. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
Acceleration is typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s²) or feet per second squared (ft/s²).
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that the greater the force and the smaller the mass, the greater the acceleration will be.
The formula for calculating acceleration is acceleration = force/mass, or a = F/m. This can also be written as a = Δv/Δt, where Δv represents the change in velocity and Δt represents the change in time.
Gravity is a force that accelerates objects towards the center of the Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s². This means that all objects, regardless of their mass, will accelerate towards the ground at the same rate due to gravity.
