performed a lab using a toy car to go down a ramp that was positioned at different heights. For expample: ramp height = 40 cm, ramp length = 121.92 cm, time car took to clear the ramp from start = .86 seconds, distance car traveled from end of ramp to stopping point = 937.26 cm, mass of car = .54 kg Based off this information, how can I calculate the portion of the force of gravity that is pushing the car down the ramp in the proper SI Units? F = ma

A helicopter of mass 9205 kg is hovering 30.5 meters above a field. Hovering means not going anywhere. This means acceleration is zero. Forces are in the vertical direction. F net = ma, if acceleration is zero, then F net = 0 Force thrust is the force going, but the going down is -mg, Thus Force thrust - mg = 0 Force thrust = mg m= 9205 kg g= 9.8 Can you reinforce my understanding, as to, "what must be the upward thrust of the propeller in newtons in order for this to occur?" ?
