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 magnitude 59.0 N is exerted and the magnitude of the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.852 m/s2. Calculate her mass.

Answer:

The value is  [tex]m = 69.24 \ kg[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The value of the external force is  [tex]F = 59.0 \ N[/tex]

    The magnitude of the astronaut's acceleration is  [tex]a = 0.852 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally Newton's Second Law of Motion from the mass of the astronauts is mathematically represented as

            [tex]m = \frac{F}{a}[/tex]

=>         [tex]m = \frac{59 }{0.852 }[/tex]

=>         [tex]m = 69.24 \ kg[/tex]
