QuestionCalculate the force needed to support a $5 \mathrm{~kg}$ object on Earth with $10 \mathrm{~m/s}^2$ gravity. Options: a. 5 N b. 25 N c. 50 N d. 100 N

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The mass of the object is5 kg. The acceleration due to earth's gravity is $10 \mathrm{m/sec}^{}$
3. The force is calculated using the formula Force = Mass $\times$ Acceleration

STEP 2

We need to find the force required to hold up an object. We can do this by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity.
$Force = Mass \times Acceleration$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the mass and acceleration to calculate the force.
$Force =5 \mathrm{kg} \times10 \mathrm{m/sec}^{2}$

STEP 4

Calculate the force required to hold up the object.
$Force = \mathrm{kg} \times10 \mathrm{m/sec}^{2} =50 \mathrm{Newtons}$ The force required to hold up an object with a mass of kg on earth is50 Newtons. Therefore, the correct answer is (c)50 Newtons.
