The normal force is 2820.48N in the negative y direction.

<h3>According to Newton's second law of motion, </h3>

Force = mass × acceleration

F = m×A

Note that rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 31.2 m/s² .

The rocket accelerates upwards, hence the acceleration will be negative because it defies gravity's law (it keeps going into space without coming down)

Acceleration of the rocket = -31.2m/s²

Mass of the astronaut = 90.4kg

Normal force acting on the astronaut = -31.2 × 90.4kg

                                                                 = -2820.48N

Therefore, the normal force is 2820.48N in the negative y direction.

An object has a position given by the radius vector r = [2.0 m + (3.00 m/s)t](i)+ [3.0 m - (2.00 m/s^2)t^2](j). Here (i) and (j)
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The speed of the object is (3i - 4.00tj)m/s

The magnitude of the acceleration is 4.00m/s²

Explanation:

Given - position vector;

r = (2.0 + 3.00t)i + (3.0 - 2.00t²)j       -------------------(i)

To get the speed vector (v), take the first derivative of equation (i) with respect to time t as follows;

v = \frac{dr}{dt}

 v = \frac{d[(2.0 + 3.00t)i + (3.0 - 2.00t^2)j]  }{dt}  

v  = 3i - 4.00tj      ------------------------(ii)

To get the acceleration vector (a), take the first derivative of the speed vector in equation(ii) as follows;

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

a = \frac{d(3i - 4.00tj)}{dt}

a = -4.00j

The magnitude of the acceleration |a| is therefore given by

|a| = |-4.00|

|a| = 4.00 m/s²

In conclusion;

the speed of the object is (3i - 4.00tj)m/s

the magnitude of the acceleration is 4.00m/s²

Determine the values of m and n when the following average distance from the Sun to the Earth is written in scientific notation:
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

150000000000\ m=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Explanation:

A number can be written in the form of :

N=m\times 10^n

Where

m is the real number

n is any integer

In this case, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is given,

d = 150000000000 meters

There are 10 zeroes in this number. We need to write this number in scientific notation. It is given by :

d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

So, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

10000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car  = 1000kg

Acceleration = 3m/s²

g  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Weight of the car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that weight is the vertical gravitational force that acts on a body.

 Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

    Weight  = 1000 x 10  = 10000N
