In the demolition of an old building, a 1,300 kg wrecking ball hits the building at 1.07 m/s2. Calculate the amount of force at which the wrecking ball strikes the building. The wrecking ball strikes the building with a force of N.
Force is calculated with the formula, F (force) = mass * acceleration.The unit N (Newton) is also known as kilogram-meter/seconds2. So, F= 1300 kg * 1.07 m/s2 = 1391 N. The answer is 1391 N.
