Answer:
This would be answer choice A
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time. This means that as long as the forces are not zero, the velocity should be changing. The can be negative (as this is negative acceleration also known as deceleration) or positive (known as acceleration). It doesn't matter if they are decimals or fractions.
Answer:
Approximately
upwards (assuming that
.)
Explanation:
External forces on this astronaut:
- Weight (gravitational attraction) from the earth (downwards,) and
- Normal force from the floor (upwards.)
Let
denote the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut from the floor. Since the direction of the normal force is opposite to the direction of the gravitational attraction, the magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be:
.
Let
denote the mass of this astronaut. The magnitude of the gravitational attraction on this astronaut would be
.
Let
denote the acceleration of this astronaut. The magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be
.
Rearrange
to obtain an expression for the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut:
.
