An astronaut of mass 90 kg walks in space outside her spaceship and receives 30-N force from a nitrogen spurt gun What is the acceleration does she experience?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[\rm F = ma\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Here, \(\rm m = 90\) and \(\rm F = 30\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I multiply 90 and 30

Parth (parthkohli):

And what you get as the value of \(\rm a\) will be the acceleration in \(\rm ms^{-2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 meter per second2= roughly 1/30th of gravity

Parth (parthkohli):

Got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this right

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[\rm 30 = 90a \Rightarrow a = { 1 \over 3}\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, \(\rm \large ms^{-2}\)

Parth (parthkohli):

\[{1 \over 3}\rm ms^{-2}\]Right?

Parth (parthkohli):

Or you have other notations as well.\[\rm {1 \over 3} m/s^2\]
