An apple of mass m = 0.22 kg falls from a tree and hits the ground with a speed of v = 14 m/s. (a) What is the magnitude of the force of gravity, mg, acting on the apple? (b) What is the time, t, required for the apple to reach the ground? (c) Show that the force of gravity times the time, mgt, is equal to mv. (We shall investigate the significance of this result in Chapter 9.) Be sure to show that the dimensions are in agreement as well as the numerical values.
