Question

If I could lift up to ten tons and I threw a ball the size of an orange but weighed a ton, to the ground, how big of an impact would it make? And could you also show me the equation to solve similar problems myself. Thank you.

Answer 1

The impact force is 98000 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

mass = 10 tons

The impact force is the weight of the object.

Weight =mass x gravity

W = 10 x 1000 x 9.8

W = 98000 N

The impact force is 98000 N.
