The moment the body impacts the ground, two types of Forces are produced: the gravitational pull and the Normal Force. This aligns with Newton's third law, indicating that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If the downward force of gravity is directed toward the earth, the reactionary force from the block acts upwards, equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Consequently, the answer is E.

Marla says that only one person was really responsible for the theory of planetary motion. Do you agree with her? Why or why not
Maru [3345]
I do not concur with her stance. The concept of planetary motion emerges from a collaborative effort involving Johannes Kepler and Sir Isaac Newton. I believe Tycho Brahe's role was minimal since it was really Kepler who made the significant discoveries.
