According to Newton's 3rd law, there will be equal and opposite force on the astronaut which is  -6048 N

<h3>What does Newton's third law say ?</h3>

The law state that in every action, there will be equal and opposite reaction.

Given that a rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 69.2 m/s2. We are to calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an astronaut of mass 87.4 kg, including his space suit.

Let us first calculate the force involved in the acceleration of the rocket by using the formula

F = ma

Where mass m = 87.4 kg, acceleration a = 69.2 m/s2

Substitute the two parameters into the formula

F = 87.4 x 69.2

F = 6048.08 N

According to the Newton's 3rd law, there will be equal and opposite force on the astronaut.

Therefore, the normal force acting on the astronaut is -6048 N approximately

Can you tell from the coefficient of restitution whether a collision has added kinetic energy to a system, taken some away, or l
Maurinko [17]
For an inelastic collision where coefficient of restitution,e, is equal to 0, the momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy. So, there is addition or elimination of kinetic energy.

On the otherhand, when e = 1, like for an elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Thus, the system's kinetic energy is unchanged.

How much is required to accelerate a 5kg mass at 20 m/s2
zhannawk [14.2K]

use F = ma

F : force m : mass a : acceleration

so

f = 5kg * 20 m/s2 = 100 N
