Problem

Assume, hypothetically, that for a particular 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} object the ratio mgmi=1.05\dfrac{m_g}{m_i}=1.05, where mgm_g is gravitational mass and mim_i is inertial mass. If the object is released from rest near Earth’s surface where g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2, what is the magnitude of its initial acceleration? a) 9.3 m/s29.3\,\text{m/s}^2 b) 9.8 m/s29.8\,\text{m/s}^2 c) 10.3 m/s210.3\,\text{m/s}^2 d) 11.0 m/s211.0\,\text{m/s}^2
