Question
A astronaut accidentally gets separated out of his small spaceship accelerating in inter-stellar space at a constant acceleration of 10 m/s2. What is the acceleration of the astronaut at the instant he is outside the spaceship?
Options
A.10m/s2
B.9.8m/s2
C.≈ 0m/s2
D.could be anything
Solution
When the astronaut is outside the spaceship, the net external force (except negligible gravitational force due to spaceship) is zero as he isolated from all interaction.
