When a body falls freely under gravity, then the work done by the gravity is

positive

Explanation:

Gravity can be defined as the force with which the body is attracted towards the center of the earth, or towards any other body. If the force acting on the body is in the direction of displacement then the word done by the applicable force is positive. This causes the free fall of the ball under the influence of gravity is also positive.

v 154.9= 0.9 length length s little over 154.9cm

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
