On planet X, a 5.0 X 101 kg bar can be lifted with a force of just 180 N. a. What is the acceleration of gravity on planet X?
a. You are a newly graduated astronaut preparing for your first trip into space. Plans call for your spacecraft to reach a velocity of 500. m/s after 2.40 minutes. If you weigh 735 N, what force will be exerted on your body? Assume the acceleration is constant.
b. A car is traveling at 25 m/s when the driver spots a large pothole in the road a distance of 30 m ahead. He immediately applies the brakes. If his acceleration is -27 m/s^2, does he manage to stop before reaching the pothole?
