Astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless. This means that a clever method of measuring the mass of astronauts is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses, and adjust their diet. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 50.0 N is exerted, and an astronaut’s acceleration is measured to be 0.893m/s2 . (a) Calculate her mass. (b) By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which she orbits experiences an equal and opposite force. Use this knowledge to find an equation for the acceleration of the system (astronaut and spaceship) that would be measured by a nearby observer. (c) Discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut’s acceleration. Propose a method by which recoil of the vehicle is avoided.
Make these simple one-step calculations and familiarize yourself with the equations that link the concepts of force, mass, and acceleration.Calculate the acceleration of a 2000-kg, single-engine airplane just before takeoff when the thrust of its engine is 500 N.
Does changing the mass of the object affect the acceleration? I was to conduct an experiment where the motion of an object sliding on an inclined air track under the influence of gravity is observed. In order to demonstrate the effects of force while minimizing friction, the air track has lines of holes drilled along the top faces. My thought process: because f=ma I thought yes, but I have also gathered data that shows me that increasing mass does not necessarily mean increasing/decreasing a.
Suppose you jump from the cliffs of Acapulco and perform aperfect swan dive. As you fall, you exert an upward force on theEarth equal in magnitude to the downward force the Earth exerts on you. Why, then, does it seem that you are the one doingall the accelerating? Since the forces are the same, why aren’tthe accelerations? Draw and Explain.
You pull a sled with a constant force across a level field and it moves with constant velocity instead of an increasing velocity. Doesn’t this violate Newton’s first and second laws of motion, which imply that no force is required to maintain a constant velocity? Explain this seeming contradiction. Hint: is your pulling force the only force acting on the sled?
A net force of 200N is applied to a lrage object, causing its velocity to change from 30 km/h to 20 km/h in 2.3 seconds. What is the objects acceleration? What is its mass?
Newton's second law states that force equals mass times acceleration. For a 10-gram weight, force given an acceleration of x meters per second can be modeled by the equation y = 10x .The relationship is a/an with a constant of variation of
A Cadillac Escalade has a mass of 2 569.6 kg, if it accelerates at 4.65m/s2, what is the net force on the car? Show complete solution (Given, Required, Equation & Final Answer)
In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired are equal in magnitude, why do the bullet and gun have very different accelerations?" Think about Newton's Second Law (F = ma) and answer his question
Lesson: Newton's 2nd law of motion, Law of Acceleration note: please solve the problem using the GRESA method (indicate the given, required, equation, solution, and answer). objectives: solve the unknown quantity from the given problem using the equation of Law of Acceleration. Problem: The 100 kg moving object is acted upon by an outside force of 50 N forward, with an initial velocity of 1.2 m/s. After 2 s, what is the final velocity of the object?
What if we have air resistance in the environment? Will there be any differences? Justify your answer by using Newton’s 2nd Law.
Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted, but inversely proportional to the object's mass. How many newtons of force are needed to accelerate an object with mass of m = 17.95 kg at a rate of a = 19.78 m/s2?
