Answer:
the apparent weight of the astronaut in the rocket is 3723 N.
Given:
acceleration = 34 
mass of astronaut = 85 kg
To find:
Apparent weight of the astronaut = ?
Solution:
Total weight of the astronaut in a rocket is given by,
W = w + F
W = apparent weight of the astronaut
w = weight of astronaut on earth surface = mg
F = force acting on the astronaut = ma
W = mg+ma
W = m (g+a)
W = 85 (9.8 + 34)
W = 3723 N
Thus, the apparent weight of the astronaut in the rocket is 3723 N.
Answer:
Answer is 25 kg m/s.
Explanation:
Given Data ;
mass = 0.5 kg
velocity = 10 m/s
Find ;
K.E = ?
Formula ;
KE = 1/2 mv 2
Solution:
KE = 1/2(0.5)(10)²(kg)(m/s)
=25 kg m/s
Answer:
A) By applying a known force, and measuring it's acceleration.
Explanation:
This is actually something that astronauts do in space as a mathmatical exercise when calculating the mass of an object since F = m × a.
Once the force, and acceleration are applied, the only unknown is the mass which can be solved by dividing force over acceleration. This is because inertial mass is equal to gravitational mass.
