Question

plsssss help!!! Deep Space 1 was a spacecraft powered by an engine that gave off xenon particles to change velocity. It had a mass of 500 kg. Which expression can be used to find the spacecraft’s acceleration if its engine created a net force of 0.10 N? A) 0.10 N 500 kg B) 500 kg · 0.10 N C) 500 kg 0.10 N D) 500 kg + 0.10 N

Answer 1

Answer:

Spacecraft’s acceleration (a) = 0.10 N / 500 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Spacecraft (M) = 500 Kg

Force generate by engine (F) = 0.10 N

Find:

Spacecraft’s acceleration (a)

Computation:

F = Ma

0.10 = 500 (a)

a = 0.10 / 500

Spacecraft’s acceleration (a) = 0.10 N / 500 kg
