Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses to adjust diets. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 60.0 N is exerted and the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.870 m/s2. (a) Calculate her mass (in kg). kg (b) By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which they orbit experiences an equal and opposite force. Discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut's acceleration. Propose a method in which recoil of the vehicle is avoided.

In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the work done by the force? answers: work is equal to the change in kinetic energy. work depends on the square of the change in potential energy. work is equal to the negative of the change in kinetic energy. work is equal to the square of the change in kinetic energy
