Answer:
The acceleration of the bag of sand is [tex]1\ m/s^2[/tex].
Explanation:
We have,
Mass of a bag of sand is 100 kg
Weight of the bag of sand is 100 N
It is required to find the acceleration of the bag when it is dropped. The weight of an object is given by :
[tex]F =ma[/tex]
When it is dropped, a = g
[tex]g=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\g=\dfrac{100}{100}\\\\g=1\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the bag of sand is [tex]1\ m/s^2[/tex].
