When landing the spacecraft, the cosmonaut experiences an acceleration of 50m / s2.

When landing the spacecraft, the cosmonaut experiences an acceleration of 50m / s2. Find the resultant of all forces acting on an astronaut if his mass is 70 kg?

To calculate the resultant of all forces acting on the cosmonaut under consideration, we apply Newton’s second law: Fres. = m * a.

The values of the variables: m is the mass of the astronaut (m = 70 kg); a is the acceleration experienced by the astronaut (a = 50 m / s2).

Let’s make a calculation: Fres. = m * a = 70 * 50 = 3500 N.

Answer: The resultant of all forces is 3500 N.
