select all of the following units that can be used to measure gravitational field strength.
m/s^2
n/s
n/kg
n/m
m/s
Step1: Recall the formula for gravitational field strength
Gravitational field strength \(g=\frac{F}{m}\), where \(F\) is force (unit \(N\)) and \(m\) is mass (unit \(kg\)). So the unit from this formula is \(\frac{N}{kg}\).
Step2: Use Newton's second law \(F = ma\)
Substitute \(F = ma\) into \(g=\frac{F}{m}\), we get \(g=\frac{ma}{m}=a\). Acceleration \(a\) has unit \(m/s^{2}\).
