For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.
Here's the equation again:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have: Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .
Now the answer jumps out at us: The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.
multiply grav pull by mass of astro maybe with a calculator
The International System Units or the SI units is scientific method of expressing the magnitudes or quantities of important natural phenomena. There are seven base units in the system, from which other units are derived. This system was formerly called the meter-kilogram-second (MKS) system.
Work done = 0.5*m*[(v2)^2 - (v1)^2]
where m is mass,
v2 and v1 are the velocities.
Given that m = 1.50 x 10^3 kg, v2 = -15 m/s (decelerates), v1 = 25 kg,
Work done = 0.5 * 1.50 x 10^3 * ((-15)^2 - 25^2) = 3 x 10^5 joules
Just ignore the negative value for the final result because work is a scalar quantity.
