a person drops a 2.00 kg ball off a building. what is the force of weight on the ball?

Answer 1

Force in Physics is found as the product of Mass Times Acceleration. The Acceleration of a falling object due to Earth's Gravity has been established as 9.8 meters per second every second or 9.8 m/s².

Write 2.00 kilograms × 9.8 m/s² or 19.6 (kg•m/s²).

The unit of (kg•m/s²) or "kilogram-dot-meters-per-second-squared" is known as the "Newton" so the force sought is equal to 19.6 Newtons.
