Answer: Use this F=Ma.
Explanation: So your answer will be
F=1 Kg+9.8 ms-2
So the answer will be
F=9.8N
How’d I do this?
I just used Newton’s second law of motion.
I’ll also put the derivation just in case.
Applied force α (Not its alpha, proportionality symbol) change in momentum
Δp α p final- p initial
Δp α mv-mu (v=final velocity, u=initial velocity and p=v*m)
or then
F α m(v-u)/t
So, as we know v=final velocity & u= initial velocity and v-u/t =a.
So F α ma, we now remove the proportionality symbol so we’ll add a proportionality constant to make the RHS & LHS equal.
So, F=kma (where k is the proportionality constant)
k is 1 so you can ignore it.
So, our equation becomes F=ma
