A 15 kg iron ball weighs 147 N. What is the acceleration of the ball due to gravity?

Answer :

Answer:

  • 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Weight of object is equals to the mass times acceleration due to gravity.

The formula is,

  • W = Mg

Here 'W' denotes Weight, 'M' denotes Mass and 'g' denotes acceleration due to gravity.

147 N = 15 kg × g

g = 147N/15 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

So the acceleration of the ball due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2
