An 8.5 kg bowling ball initially at rest is dropped from the top of a building. The ball hits the ground with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. Find the net force on the falling ball.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 83.3 N

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 8.5 × 9.8

We have the final answer as

83.3 N
