suppose the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the moon is 10,000 kg. the thrust of its engines is 60,000 n. calculate the magnitude of acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the moon.

Sagot :

The magnitude of acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the moon is [tex]6 m/s^{2}[/tex].

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the object’s mass.  i.e.

                                                   F = ma

where, F = force

           m = mass

            a = acceleration

Given the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the moon is 10,000 kg , i.e. m =10000 kg

The thrust of its engines is 60,000 N , i.e. F = 60000N

Putting these values in above equation, we get a = 6[tex]m/s^{2}[/tex].

So the magnitude of acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the moon is [tex]6 m/s^{2}[/tex].
