Denise is conducting a physics experiment to measure the acceleration of a falling object when it slows down and comes to a stop. She drops a wooden block with a mass of 0.5 kilograms on a sensor on the floor. The sensor measures the force of the impact as 4.9 newtons. What's the acceleration of the wooden block when it hits the sensor? Use F = ma.

    To calculate the acceleration of the wooden block, we use the expression F=ma where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:

    F = ma

    4.9 = 0.5a

    a = 9.8

    Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
