Deep space 2 was a spacecraft powered by an engine that gave off xenon partides to change
velocity. it had a mass of 500 kg. which expression can be used to find the spacecraft's
acceleration if its engine created a net force of 0.10 n?
0.10 n
500 kg
b 500 kg-0.10 n
soo kg
0.10 n
d500 kg = 0.10 n

a = F/m

a = 0.10 N/500 Kg

Explanation:

Definition:

The acceleration is rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Formula:

a = Δv/Δt

a = acceleration

Δv = change in velocity

Δt = change in time

Units:

The unit of acceleration is m.s⁻².

Acceleration can also be determine through following formula,

F = m × a

a = F/m

Given data:

Mass = 500 Kg

Force = 0.10 N

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

a = F/m

a = 0.10 Kg.m.s⁻²/500 Kg

a = 0.0002 m.s⁻²

dynamic equilibrium is the answer.
