In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

A space vehicle approaches a space station in orbit. The intent of the engineers is to have the vehicle slowly approach, reducin
N76 [4]

Answer: The total momentum before the docking maneuver is mV_{1}+MV_{2} and after the docking maneuver is (m+M) U

Explanation:

Linear momentum p (generally just called momentum) is defined as mass in motion and is given by the following equation:  

p=m.v  

Where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.

According to the conservation of momentum law:

<em>"If two objects or bodies are in a closed system and both collide, the total momentum of these two objects before the collision </em>p_{i} <em>will be the same as the total momentum of these same two objects after the collision </em>p_{f}<em>". </em>

<em />

p_{i}=p_{f}

This means, that although the momentum of each object may change after the collision, the total momentum of the system does not change.

Now, the docking of a space vehicle with the space station is an inelastic collision, which means both objects remain together after the collision.

Hence, the<u> initial momentum</u> is:

p_{i}=mV_{1}+MV_{2}

Where:

m is the mass of the vehicle

V_{1} is the velocity of th vehicle

M is the mass of the space station

V_{2} is the velocity of the space station

And the <u>final momentum</u> is:

p_{f}=(m+M)U

Where:

U is the velocity of the vehicle and space station docked
