Question

Four balls of varying masses (in grams) were dropped from the same height on Earth. Assuming no other forces acted on them, match each ball with the gravitational force (in newtons) it experienced during its fall. (4 points)

Answer 1

First, using correct unit conversion (grams → kilograms) and g = 9.8 m/s²:

- Ball 1 (410 g = 0.410 kg): F = 0.410·9.8 = 4.02 N
- Ball 2 (110 g = 0.110 kg): F = 0.110·9.8 = 1.08 N
- Ball 3 (143 g = 0.143 kg): F = 0.143·9.8 = 1.40 N
- Ball 4 (46 g = 0.046 kg): F = 0.046·9.8 = 0.451 N

If instead the problem intended the listed masses to be in kilograms (so the provided answer choices match), the matches to the given choices are:

- Ball 1 (410 kg): 4018 N
- Ball 2 (110 kg): 1078 N
- Ball 3 (143 kg): 1401 N
- Ball 4 (46 kg): 451 N

Use the first set (small N values) if the masses are truly grams; use the second set to match the provided multiple-choice numbers.
