Um... Can you elaborate a little bit?

OpenStudy (hunus):

Are we assuming air resistance or is this ideal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um, I think no air resistance because its in freefall

OpenStudy (hunus):

|dw:1324501185793:dw| The mass of the rock is 20 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s/s. Thus, the weight of the rock is (20kg)(9.8m/s/s)=196 N
