(a) What is the value of the force exerted back on the astronaut by the satellite? (b) The astronaut will end up moving with a speed that is (faster, slower, the same as) the satellite after this force is applied.

As a rocket ascends, its acceleration increases even though the net force on it stays constant. Why? (Assume a traveling distance small enough that the thrust, acceleration due to gravity and atmosphere do not change.) As the rocket ascends, fuel is burned at a faster rate resulting in a larger acceleration.The rocket's mass decreases as its fuel is consumed. The same net force acting on a smaller mass results in a larger acceleration. The faster a rocket moves the more acceleration is imparted to it from a given force.As a rocket ascends its momentum increases with its speed. The greater the momentum of the rocket, the greater the acceleration imparted to it from a given force.
You're doing this experiment on Mars, where gravity is only 0.38g (where g is Earth's gravity). You take a sample of MXQ1 with a mass of 23 kg, and place it on a flat surface made of MZX2. You give it a horizontal push of 10 N, and it doesn't move. You increase the force to 20 N, and still nothing. 30 N, still nothing. Finally, when you increase the force all the way to 47 N, the sample starts moving. You keep pushing until it reaches a speed of 5.6 m/s, and then you let go. When you let go, it keeps moving, but slows down, and after 3.4 seconds, it comes to a stop a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between MXQ1 and MZX2? b) What is the coefficient of static friction between MXQ1 and MZX2?
A 30.3 kg boy and a 55.8 kg girl are on the surface of a frozen lake, 14.0 m apart. Using a rope, the boy exerts a horizontal 5.30 N force on the girl, pulling her toward him. Calculate the magnitude of the boy's accelerátion. Submit Answer Tries 0/10
A(n) 878 kg drag race car accelerates from rest to 102 km/h in 0.962 s. What average force is exerted on the car?Answer in units of N.
Astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless. This means that a clever method of measuring the mass of astronauts is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses, and adjust their diet. 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 50.0 N is exerted, and an astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.893 m/s². (a) Calculate her mass.
An astronaut takes a set of scales to do some measurements while travelling. Before leaving earth, the astronaut stands on the scales and they read "75 kg". Determine what the readings would be in the following circumstances. (You will first need to decide what the scales physically relate to).

2. A rocketship of mass mR = 2000 kg tows an asteroid full of valuable minerals with a mass mA = 500kg with a rope (space rope, or something). The two are out in the far reaches of space, so thegravitational force from the Earth and other planets can be ignored.The asteroid is under the influence of the force of tension from the rope. The rocket is also underthe influence of the rope’s force, and it’s also being thrust forward by the force of its engine. Therocket and asteroid both have an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2 (a) What is the strength of the force of the tension in the rope? (b) What is the strength of the engine’s force on the rocket, and in which direction does it point?

On 24 November 2021 the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft was launched. Its mission is to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. DART was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket. At launch a Falcon rocket has a mass of 555 000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. A. Neglecting the effect of gravity, what is the initial acceleration of the rocket? Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. B. Assuming that the initial acceleration remains constant, how fast will the rocket be moving after 2 seconds? C. In practice, as the rocket burns fuel, its mass decreases. Assuming the thrust remains the same, how would your answer to part (ii) change? Would the speed after 2 seconds be lower, the same or higher?
A box of mass m1=5.60 kg rests on a second box of mass m2=13.0 kg. Both are on the floor of an elevator that goes up with constant acceleration of magnitude a=4.90 m/s2, as illustrated in the figure. Assume that the magnitude of gravitational acceleration is g=10.0 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the contact force between the two boxes?
Three identical 50 kg balls are held at the corners of an equilateral triangle, 30 cm on each side. If one of the balls is released, what is the magnitude of its initial acceleration if the only forces acting on it are the gravitational forces due to the other two masses? (G=6.67 x 10-11 N . m2/kg2)
