A body experiences a gravitational force with a magnitude of 100 N in a region of space where the magnitude of the gravitational field is 20 m/s².The mass of the body is A)0.2 kg B)20 kg C)5 kg D)100 kg E)2000 kg

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gravitational force (F) on an object is given by the product of its mass (m) and the gravitational field strength (g), F = mg. Given F = 100 N and g = 20 m/s^2, solving for m gives m = F/g = 100 N / 20 m/s^2 = 5 kg.
