A 10 kg mass is in free fall with no air resistance. In order to slow the mass at a rate equal to the magnitude of g, an upward force must be applied with magnitude:
F=ma
F=(10kg)(9.81m/s2) = approximately 100N
So in order to slow the mass at a rate equal to g it should be a force less than 100N?? Im not sure how to figure this out. Help!!!
Thanks
