By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which they orbit experiences an equal and opposite force. if the mass of the vehicle is 155.1× greater than the astronaut by what factor would the astronaut's acceleration be affected? think of a method in which recoil of the vehicle is avoided. original text = discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut’s acceleration.

The astronaut's acceleration is 155.1 times the vehicle's acceleration

Explanation:

These effects due to Newton's third law of action and reaction. Since the forces are equal but in the opposite direction and each acting on a different body. We distance that the Force is F let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle and the astronaut  

Astronaut

        F =  a₁

Vehicle

        F = a₁

F = 555.1 a₂

Let's match the equation

a₁ = 155.1 a₂

a₁ = 155.1 a₂

a₁ / a₂ = 155.1

The astronaut's acceleration is 155.1 times the vehicle's acceleration

We see that even when the acceleration of the vehicle is small, there is a very high multiplicative factor.

One method to improve this situation is that the vehicles fear some small retro-rocket vehicles to reduce their acceleration. This would have a very favorable impact on the astronaut's mission.

Another method would be for the astronaut himself to have the retro-rocket and control his acceleration.

since you're a real machine, your ama is always less than your ima, because you can never totally eliminate friction.

i think the answer is tomato juice? not entirely sure though
