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

A car traveled 112.0m in 24.500s, what was a car’s average speed?
kodGreya [7K]

Average speed of the car is 4.57 m/s

Explanation:

  • Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.
  • It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time
  • Here, distance = 112 m and time = 24.5 s

Speed of the car = 112/24.5 = 4.57 m/s

Describe a sea-level transgression
Eduardwww [97]
<span>Some geographic areas endure cycles between these two processes called transgressive-regressive sequences. The rocks of western Pennsylvania are one example. Sandy beaches often leave observable records of transgression by covering marsh sediments that were once behind it as it moves inland. The original sediments are then covered by even deeper water sediments, which geologists can trace and record. It is generally believed that transgression will increase in accordance with rising sea levels worldwide</span>

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.
