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 59.0 N is exerted and the magnitude of the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.852 m/s2. Calculate her mass.

Answer:

The value is  m  =  69.24  \  kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The value of the external force is  F =  59.0 \  N

    The magnitude of the astronaut's acceleration is  a =  0.852 \  m/s

Generally Newton's Second Law of Motion from the mass of the astronauts is mathematically represented as

            m  =  \frac{F}{a}

=>         m  =  \frac{59 }{0.852 }

=>         m  =  69.24  \  kg

A 58.1 kg wood board is resting on very smooth ice in the middle of a frozen lake. A 48.3 kg boy stands at one end of the board.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

V = 1.41 m /s

Explanation:

Movement in both wood board and boy is created by internal forces . No horizontal external force acts on them . So conservation of momentum will apply on both of them for movement in horizontal direction.

Mass of wood board x velocity = mass of boy x velocity

58.1 x V = 48.3 x 1.69

V = 1.41 m /s

What is Newton's Third law of motion? Explain how this roller coaster
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion says, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." So that applied to the student's roller coaster, between the marble and the track. When the marble went up and down the hill, it created different forces onto the track.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: B. Allegheny plateau

Explanation: Allegheny plateau is a mountainous region that makes up the northern part of the United States of America, the following states are located on the Allegheny plateau New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, it is made up of HORIZONTAL SEDIMENTARY BEDROCK at elevated lands. Allegheny plateau is over 40million area is over 40million acres,it has been a site for Erosion and for millions years,through this erosions some areas have been brought low while others are higher following the deposition of materials by the erosion.
