When the rocket launched the astronauts aboard experienced an acceleration of 32 m/s^2. If one of the astronauts had a mass of 65 kg, what net force in newtons did the astronaut experience?

Answer:

The question is somewhat vague in that acceleration is not exactly defined:

Usually a = (v2 - v1) / t    which would imply that

a = 32 / g = 32 / 9.8 = 3.27   the acceleration due to change in speed of the rocket

One can also say that the astronaut experiences an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 just by being motionless on the surface of the earth.

Then a = (32 - 9.8) / 9.8 = 2.27 due to the acceleration of the rocket

If we assume the first condition then

F = 65 kg * 3.27 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2083 N
