Question

As we approach fall, the trees begin to drop their leaves. If a leaf, with a mass of 0.00006 kg, drops 3.66 meters from the top of a tree and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2. Calculate the force at which the leaf will hit the ground.

(F = m * a)

Answer 1

I’m getting “5.886 E -4”, so I’m not sure.... It could be 5.8 but its up to you to decide.

All you do is take the mass and multiply it by the acceleration. The meters is there to throw you off.
