Just after vertical launch from Earth surface, the space shuttle takes 8.0 s to reach a speed of 160 km/h. During this phase, what is the apparent weight of an 84 kg astronaut?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1291.08 N

Explanation:

acceleration=change in speed per unit time

[tex]a=\frac {v-u}{t}[/tex] where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively.

u is zero and v=160 km/h converted to m/s becomes[tex]160\times \frac {1000m}{3600s}\approx 44.44 m/s[/tex]

acceleration=[tex]\frac {44.44-0}{8}\approx 5.56 m/s^{2}[/tex]

Apparent weight, [tex]F_N=m(g+a)[/tex]

Taking g as 9.81 and m as 84 Kg then

[tex]F_N=84(9.81+5.56)\approx 1291.08 N[/tex]
