An astronaut has a mass of 120 kg. She recedes from her spacecraft using spurts of gas from a small unit on her back. If the force generated by the gas spurt is 50 N, calculate her acceleration.
Notes: Use 9.8 m/s 2 for the acceleration due to gravity. For Newton's Law calculations, mass must be expressed in kg and velocity must be expressed in m/s.
