Do we need more force to push a body with 100kg mass than of 1kg mass in space(in vacuum)?
What do YOU think, and why?Meruem said:Do we need more force to push a body with 100kg mass than of 1kg mass in space(in vacuum)?
What about inertia?Meruem said:Both body can be moved with similar amount of force regardless of their mass due to no influence of gravity
The force needed to push a 100kg mass in space is significantly greater than the force needed to push a 1kg mass. This is because mass is directly proportional to the amount of force needed to accelerate an object. In other words, the more massive an object is, the more force is needed to move it.
The force needed to push a body in space increases as the mass of the body increases. This is due to Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Therefore, as the mass increases, so does the force needed to accelerate it.
Yes, the formula for calculating the force needed to push a body in space is F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is the mass in kilograms, and a is the acceleration in meters per second squared. This formula applies to all masses, regardless of their size.
The force needed to push a body in space is significantly different from the force needed on Earth. On Earth, the force needed to accelerate an object is affected by gravity, air resistance, and other factors. In space, there is no gravity or air resistance, so the only force needed is the force applied by the object's propulsion system.
Yes, the force needed to push a body in space can be reduced by increasing the acceleration. This can be achieved by using a more powerful propulsion system or by reducing the mass of the object being pushed. However, it is important to note that the force needed to accelerate an object to a certain speed cannot be completely eliminated, as it is a fundamental principle of physics.
