Question

suppose the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the moon is 13,800 kg. the thrust of its engines is 28,500 n. (assume that the gravitational acceleration on the moon is 1.67 m/s2.) (a) calculate (in m/s2) its magnitude of acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the moon. (enter a number.)

Answer 1

The rocket will shoot from the moon at a velocity of 0.39 m/s, in accordance with the question.

What is a massive example?

The mass of matter that makes up every item or body is the simplest way to understand mass. Every that we can see has mass.

F=ma

First Law of Motion (remember this equation)

28500 = 13800 * a

(Kg is the measurement of mass, while N is a measure of force.)

calculate a

In empty space, the velocity would be at a = 2.06 m/s2, but the moon is pulling it down.

We deduct it from acceleration because downward motion is the direction in which the item is traveling.

2.06-1.67 = 0.39

Consequently, the rocket will ascend at 0.39 m/s.
