Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

ains or losses to adjust diets. 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 magnitude 52.0 N is exerted and the magnitude of the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.936 m/s2. Calculate her mass.

Answer:

55.56kg

Explanation:

Given:

F= 52N

a=0.936m/s²

Applyinc Newton's second law, that states: force is equal to mass times acceleration.

F = ma

m=F/a =>52 / 0.936

m=55.56kg

During a supernova, the outer layers of a star are blown off and the star's core shrinks down by a factor of 10,000 or more to f
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a. the core will spin faster.

Explanation:

By law of conservation of angular momentum

(mvR)i= (mvR)f

m= mass of star

v= speed of star

R= radius of star

i= initial

f= final

since, size(R) of the star is reduced by factor of 10,000 and mass remains the same, the velocity must increase by the same factor to keep the angular momentum conserved.

Hence, a. the core will spin faster.

Why is it difficult to walk on muddy road?
Gnesinka [82]
Because of internal friction between layers of mud particles called viscosity. When you walk, your foot exerts a force on the mud; and according to Newton, the mud also (is supposed to) exert an equal opposite force, which leading to an equal net resultant force in your direction, propelling you forward.
