What will be the mass of an astronaut in a space satellite if at earth's surface the astronaut weighs 250 N ? (Take `g = 10 ms^(-2)`)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the mass of the astronaut in a space satellite, we can use the relationship between weight, mass, and gravitational acceleration. The weight of an object is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g \] where: - \( W \) is the weight (in newtons), - \( m \) is the mass (in kilograms), - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (in meters per second squared). ...
