Question

The force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass. The constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2 feet per second squared. Which equation represents F, the force on an object due to gravity according to m, the object’s mass?F = 16.1mF = F = 32.2mF =

Answer 1

The answer is F = 32.2m

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is F = 32.2m

Explanation:

The force acting on a body is directly proportional to mass.

That is F ∝ m

F = km

Here we can replace k with acceleration due to gravity a.

F = am

Give that the constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2 feet per second squared.

That is a = 32.2 feet per second squared.

Substituting

F = 32.2m

The answer is F = 32.2m
