Question

Christopher is jumping on a trampoline. The gravitional force he feels in 577.2 N as he accelerates toward the trampoline at 9.806 m/s2. What is christopher’s mass?

Answer 1

Answer:

m=58.86 kg

Explanation:

Given that

Gravitational force,F= 577.2 N

acceleration ,a= 9.806 m/s²

From Second law of Newton's

F= m a

F=Net force acting on the object

m=Mass of the object

a=acceleration of the object

Now by putting the values in the above equation

577.2= m x 9.806

$m=\dfrac{577.2}{9.806}\ kg$

m=58.86 kg

Therefore the mass of Christopher  will be 58.86 kg.
