If a net force of 800n is acting on an object with a mass of 60kg. What would be the objects accelerations

13.33 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass of an object and its acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

Since Force on object = 800N

Mass of object = 6Kg

Acceleration = ?

Then, Force = Mass x Acceleration

800N = 60Kg x Acceleration

Acceleration = (800N/60kg)

Acceleration = 13.33 m/s^2 (The unit of acceleration is metre per second square)

Thus, the objects accelerations is 13.33 m/s^2

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
