To express the acceleration as a multiple of the gravitational acceleration, you need to divide the given acceleration by the gravitational acceleration (g). In this case, the given acceleration is 15 m/s^2.
To find the multiple, you can use the formula:
Multiple of g = Given acceleration / Gravitational acceleration
So, to find the multiple of g, divide 15 m/s^2 by 9.8 m/s^2 (the value of g):
Multiple of g = 15 m/s^2 / 9.8 m/s^2
Simplifying this expression:
Multiple of g = 15/9.8
Calculating the numerical value:
Multiple of g ≈ 1.53
Therefore, the acceleration is approximately 1.53 times the gravitational acceleration (g).
