Question
1.
The rocket sled shown in the figure accelerates to the right at a rate of 49 m/s². Its passenger has a
mass of 64 kg.
Consider: The passenger pushes the back of the seat and the bottom of the seat. The resultant of the
two forces is the net force of the passenger on the seat. Do they experience a reaction force from the
seat? What force is responsible for his horizontal acceleration?
NW
(a) Calculate the horizontal component of the force F, the seat exerts against his body.
Fh=ma= 3136
(b) Compare this with his weight by using a ratio.
