Answer:
a) m = 69.0 kg
b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement
Explanation:
a) Let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
m = F / a
m = 60.0 / 0.870
m = 69.0 kg
b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved
p₀ = p_f
m v = M v '
v ’=
so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.
One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.
(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?
(b) What is the mass of each box?
Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;
(b) m1 = 915kg;
m2 = 605kg;
m3 = 864.5kg;
Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.
(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:
Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.
(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.
<u>For </u><u>:</u>
The only force acting On the box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.
= 915kg
<u>For </u><u>:</u>
There are two forces acting on : tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:
= 605kg
<u>For </u><u>:</u>
= 864.5kg
