An astronaut accidentally gets thrown out of his small spaceship accelerating in interstellar space at a constant rate. What is the acceleration of the astronaut, the instant after he is outside the spaceship?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the situation of the astronaut being thrown out of the spaceship that is accelerating in interstellar space. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Scenario**: - The spaceship is accelerating at a constant rate in interstellar space. This means that it is moving away from a point in space, gaining speed over time. - The astronaut is inside the spaceship and is initially moving with the same velocity as the spaceship. ...
