Question

1. We’ve mentioned a connection between net force and acceleration -- do you think there are any other factors that affect how much an object can be accelerated? What are they?A. Do you think the amount of force demonstrated in this video would be enough to launch a car into space? Do you think this would be enough force to launch a vehicle twice as large as the space shuttle into space?B. What other types of exploratory vehicles must take forces into account either for propulsion or for occupant safety?

Answer 1

1. Yes ther are other factors, they can be the external factors and mass (weight). Depending on the mass, the same force would generate different accelerations.

A. Yes, because a car has lower mass that the rocket

Probably no because if is twice the size then the mass would be higher and the acceleration lower with the same force.

B. Airplanes, submarines, spatial station, satelites
