according to Newton's third law what is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing
Fudgin [204]

When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.

Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces. 
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.

Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth.  One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth.  We call that force "your weight". 
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you.  Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !

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
