Answer

(a) $2.2N$ (b) $1.4s$ (c) Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the magnitude of the force of gravity as $F=mg$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $F=(0.22Kg)(9.8m/s^2)$ $F=2.2N$ (b) We know that $v=gt$ $\implies t=\frac{v}{g}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{14m/s}{9.8m/s^2}$ $t=1.4s$ (c) We know that $mgt=(0.22Kg)(9.8m/s^2)(1.428s)$ $\implies mgt=3.08Kg.m/s$ Now $mv=(0.22Kg)(14m/s)$ $mv=3.08Kg.m/s$ Thus $mgt=mv$ and the dimensions of both equations are the same: $MLT^{-1}$
