The Earth exerts a force of 1.00 newtons on an object in free fall. What is the object's mass?

Asked by laurenchavez

Answer (2)

On or near the surface of the Earth, 1 newton is the weight of about 102 grams of mass.
Note that the gravitational force between the object and the Earth is always the same. It doesn't matter whether the object is falling, flying, floating, fluttering, rising, sinking, rolling, sliding, or just laying there. It doesn't change.

The mass of an object experiencing a weight of 1.00 newton in free fall on Earth can be calculated using the formula m = g W ​ , where g is 9.81 m/s². This results in a mass of approximately 0.102 kg or 102 grams. Therefore, the object's mass is about 102 grams.
