Calculating Thrust & Force During Space Shuttle Liftoff

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the total thrust force of a space shuttle during liftoff, given its mass of 2.0 x 10^6 kg and an upward acceleration of 0.60g. Participants seek assistance with the calculations and the forces involved, particularly the force exerted on a 60-kg astronaut in the seat. There is a reminder that homework problems should be posted in the appropriate section and that users should show their work for better assistance. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the need for clarity in problem-solving and collaboration in educational contexts.

At liftoff, a space shuttle with 2.0 x 10^6 kg total mass undergoes an upward acceleration of 0.60g.

Find the total thrust force developed by its engines?What force does the seat exert on a 60-kg astronaut during liftoff?

Thank you for helping with the problem

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
