Question

A potato with a mass of 0.25kg is resting on a table. Calculate the force that the potato exerts on the Earth.

Answer 1

Answer:

F = 2.45 [N]

Explanation:

The force that the potato exerts on the Earth is equal to the product of the potato mass by gravitational acceleration.

$F=m*g$

where:

m = mass = 0.25 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

$F=0.25*9.81\\F=2.45[N]$
