volume_muteSuppose you observe a 1-kg object accelerating at the rate of 9.8 m/s2. You know that a force of (1) N must be accelerating the object. This acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration that occurs when an object is released near the (2)
of the earth-the acceleration of (3)
. Thus, the (4)
of gravity on a 1-kg object is 9.8 N. We say that a 1-kg object (5)
9.8 newtons
