### Educational Content: Analyzing Forces on a Moon Lander---**Scenario Overview:**A 500-kg Moon lander is descending toward the lunar surface. To control its descent, the lander's thruster activates, providing an upward force. At a height of 50 meters, the lander's velocity is initially 6.1 m/s in a downward direction. By the time it reaches a height of 5 meters, its velocity reduces to 0.5 m/s downward. Near the Moon's surface, the gravitational field strength is 1.6 N/kg. For the purpose of this calculation, it is assumed that the lander's mass and thrust remain constant during this process.---**Problem Statement:****Part 1**Calculate the magnitude of the average net force exerted on the lander throughout the descent from 50 meters to 5 meters above the Moon's surface.\[ F_{\text{net,y}} = \, \](An input box is provided for students to fill in with the calculated net force in Newtons.)---This exercise requires application of kinematic equations and understanding of gravitational and thrust forces acting on the Moon lander during its controlled descent. Students should consider the change in velocity and gravitational influence to determine the average net force.

As a 500-kg Moon lander is descending toward the surface, its thruster fires, exerting an upward force on the lander. At a height of 50 m, the lander's velocity is 6.1 m/s downward. At a height of 5 m, its velocity is 0.5 m/s downward. The Moon's gravitational field strength near its surface is 1.6 N/kg. Assume the mass and thrust of the lander remain nearly constant during the process. Part 1 What is the magnitude of the average net force on the lander during the process that ends at 5 m above the surface? Fnet.y i

Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 4.0 104 kg (about 40 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of ‹ 0, 30, 0 › km/s. As you pass the location ‹ 6, 9, 0 › km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of ‹ 5.0 105, 0, 0 › N for 20 s. The ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?)f = m
As a protest against the umpire's calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 22.0 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.20 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed.

The ball's mass is 0.32 kg. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the soccer ball at this instant?
A person catches a ball with a mass of 145 g dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His hand stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball? Assume the ball slows down with constant acceleration.
While rollerblading through your neighborhood, you suddenly lose control and begin coasting down a hill, unable to stop. Fortunately, you see a neighbor moving a mattress into their house and decide that colliding with the mattress would be far less painful than the alternatives. Your plan works to perfection and you are slowed gently over the course of 1.4 seconds. Assuming your mass is 80 kg and your initial velocity was 10 m/s, find the average force applied on your body by the mattress (in N).

When serving a tennis ball, the player hits it when its velocity is zero (at the highest point of a vertical toss). The racket exerts a force of 510 N on the ball for 5.00 ms, giving it a final velocity of 47.0 m/s. Using these data, find the mass (in g) of the ball.
The rocket in a rocket-powered airplane generates a steady force of 10,000 N in the forward direction and the plane moves horizontally at a constant velocity of 300 m/s through the air. The rocket engine is upgraded so that it now provides a forward force of 90,000 N. What is the new constant velocity of the plane?
