Gravity accelerates any object falling at 9.8 m/s2. What is the force that will be applied to the ground if an 88 kg box falls from the top of a shelf to the ground?

The force is of the weight 862,4 Newtons.

Explanation:

We have the formula:

w = m * g

Data:

w = weight = ¿?

m = mass = 88 kg

g = gravity = 9,8 m/s

Replacing according formula:

w = 88 kg * 9,8 m/s

Resolving:

w = 862,4 N

t = 1/400 h   ⇔ 0.0025 h ⇔ 9s ⇔ 0.15 m

any of the answers are correct.
