if a person weighs 50kg and is simply standing still, the force of gravity is still acting on this person at an acceleration rate of 9.8m/s^2 find the force exerted by this person.

Answer 1

The force exerted by the person can be calculated using the formula:

Force = mass * acceleration

In this case, the mass of the person is 50 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

Force = 50 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

Force = 490 N

Therefore, the force exerted by the person when standing still is 490 N.
