The acceleration of the spacecraft in which the Apollo astronauts took off from the moon was 3.4 m/s2. On the moon, g = 1.6 m/s2. Part A What was the apparent weight of a 75 kg astronaut during takeoff? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Show work.
Given,
a = 3.4 m/s^2 ; g = 1.6 m/s^2
m = 75 kg
Apparent weight will be:
W = (a + g)m
W = 75 (3.4 + 1.6) = 375 N
Hence, W = 375 N

Whenever two Apollo astronauts were on the surface of the Moon, a third astronaut orbited the Moon. Assume the orbit to be circular and 100 km above the surface of the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.52 m/s2. The radius of the Moon is 1.70 × 106 m. Determine (a) the astronaut’s orbital speed, and (b) the period of the orbit. A space station, in the form of a wheel 120 m in diameter, rotates to provide...
Whenever two Apollo astronauts were on the surface of the Moon, a third astronaut orbited the Moon. Assume the orbit to be circular and 574 km above the surface of the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.950 m/s2. The radius of the Moon is 1.70 x 106 m. (a) Determine the astronaut's orbital speed. 1859.16 x Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m/s (b) Determine the period of...
An astronaut lifts off in a rocket from the surface of the moon, where g = 1.6 m/s^2. What vertical acceleration should his rocket have so that his apparent weight is equal to his true weight on earth?
Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a
rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 40.0 s to speed up from rest to
its top speed of 1 rotation every 1.20 s . The astronaut is
strapped into a seat 4.90 m from the axis.
please show work. need help with both
questions.
