All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8 ms2 due to which factor of gravity?

acceleration


How to find the weight of a 15 kg rock Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms2?

Weight in a certain place = (mass of the object) x (acceleration of gravity in that place)Weight of that rock, on Earth = (15 kg) x (9.8 meters/sec2) = 147 newtons


The quantity 2 ms2 is a measure of?

acceleration


On earth what equals 9.8 ms2?

Gravitational acceleration. It is actually 9.80665 m/s² (acccording to wikipedia). This means that, as a body falls freely under gravity on Earth, it will be accelerating constantly at a rate of 9.80665 m/s².


9.81 ms2 What does this measure and is it always true?

9.81 m/s2 is the acceleration of an object in free fall, responding only to gravity with no other forces on it, on or near the Earth's surface ... otherwise known as the acceleration of gravity. It's always true on or near the surface of the Earth ... if you can provide those conditions: No other forces except gravity acting on the falling object, including no air resistance !

If a skydiver with a mass of 70 kg accelerates to Earth at a rate of 9.8 ms2 due to gravity what is the force on the skydiver?

F = m A = (70) (9.8) = 686 newtons (154 pounds)Coincidentally, this is the same reading the skydiver sees when he steps on the bathroom scale.


Calculate the force it would take to accelerate a 50 kg bike at a rate of 3 ms2?

First the acceleration should be 3ms^-2....not 3 ms2...now the force will be 50*3=150 newton...


A wrestler has a mass of 102 kg. On the Moon where g is 1.62 ms2. What is his mass?

His MASS is the same on earth and on the moon; it is 102 kg. His WEIGHT is different but mass is the same. On the moon he weighs 102 x 1.62 = 165 Newtons; on earth he weighs 102 x 9.81 = 1000 Newtons


What i the SI unit for force which is equal to 1 kg ms2?

It is 1 Newton.


On Earth a scale sHow is that you weigh 567 N What is your mass What would the scale read on the moon g 1.60 ms2?

567 N /9.81 ^(garvity on earth) =57.798 x 1.60 ^(gravity on moon) =92.5 N (rounded to correct number of sig figs)
