A rock, in deep space, has a rocket thruster, with negligible mass, attached to it. The rocket causes a force of 3,300[N]. If the rock has a mass of 4.62×104[kg], what is the acceleration experienced by the rock, due to this force alone? Express your answer in terms of m/s2.
A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.02 x 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 1.16 × 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude (in m/s²) of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.0 × 107 kg. (Let us assume that F points to the right. We will consider this to be the +x direction and vertical to be the +y wind direction.) magnitude 17.1 Did you draw a free-body diagram, and identify the forces acting on the flea?

An astronaut is doing a spacewalk on a long tether at 0.1 km away from the International Space Station (mass of 420,000 kg). His spacesuit includes a very sensitive gravitometer, which indicates the gravitational force acting on the astronaut and his spacesuit from the ISS is 7.0 E−7 N. What is the mass of the astronaut in his suit if G = 6.67 E−11 N*m2/kg2? 1. 150 kg 2. 200 kg 3. 250 kg 4. 300 kg
At its closest distance from Earth, the moon experiences a gravitational force of 2.22 E 20 N. The mass of the Earth is 5.97 E24 kg. The mass of the moon is 7.35 E22 kg. What is the distance between the Earth and the moon at that point if G = 6.67 E−11 N*m2/kg2? 1. 1.32 E 4 km 2. 3.63 E 6 km 3. 3.63 E 8 km 4. 1.32 E 17 km
A skydiver weighing 203 lbf (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 5000 ft and opens the parachute after 14 s of free fall. Assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is 0.77 |v| when the parachute is closed and 10 |v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. Use g = 32 ft/s². Round your answers to two decimal places. (a) Find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. v(14) = i (b) Find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. x (14) = i ft ft/s (c) What is the limiting velocity after the parachute opens? UL = i ft/s
An object has a velocity (4.69 m/s)i + (-4.4 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. In a time of 5.5 s its velocity becomes (-2.22 m/s)i + (0.00 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. 1) If the mass of the object is 3.31 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object, in N, during the 5.5 s? Assume the acceleration is constant.
Your mass is 94.2 kg, and the sled s mass is 16.1 kg. The sled is moving by itself on the ice at 5.05 m/s. You parachute vertically down onto the sled, and land gently. What is the sled s velocity with you now on it? 0.85 m/s 0.74 m/s 0.44 m/s 0.96 m/s
Leo, who has a mass of 72.0 kg, is riding his rollerblades when he collided with the wall. The wall exerted 2895 N of force and brought his body to a stop after 0.370 seconds. What is Leo's velocity before he collided with the wall? 16.9 m/s O 18.9 m/s O 19.4 m/s 14.9 m/s
The launch thrust of the Space Shuttle’s rocket engines is approximately 3.47×107 N. If the Shuttle’s launch mass is about 2.00×106 kg, what is the acceleration at liftoff? I know that F net =F thrust, so the opposing but equal force is - mg F net = F thrust - mg m = 2.00 x 10^6 kg F net = N = 2.00 x 10^6 (9.8) =mg, expressed as N is 1.96x107 N = 3.47×107 N (up) - 1.96x107 N (down) then...
