If the astronaut throws the tool with a force of 16.0 n , what is the magnitude of the acceleration a of the astronaut during the throw? assume that the total mass of the astronaut after she throws the tool is 80.0 kg . express your answer in meters per second squared.

From Newton’s second law of motion, the value of the force is calculated by multiplying the mass and the acceleration as,

                                             F = mass   x acceleration

If we substitute the known values into the equation,

                                             16 N = 80 kg x acceleration

                                               Acceleration = 0.2 m/s2

The magnitude of the acceleration of the astronaut : 0.2 m/s²

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

∑F = m. a

F = force, N

m = mass = kg

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²

the astronaut throws the tool with a force of 16.0 N ⇒  F = 16 N

the total mass of the astronaut after she throws the tool is 80.0 kg

 ⇒ m = 80 kg

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
