Deep Space 1 was a spacecraft powered by an engine that gave off xenon particles to change velocity. It had a mass of 500 kg. Which expression can be used to find the spacecraft’s acceleration if its engine created a net force of 0.10 N?(1 point)
The expression that can be used to find the spacecraft's acceleration is:
acceleration = net force / mass
Given values:
net force = 0.10 N
mass = 500 kg
Substitute in the values:
acceleration = 0.10 N / 500 kg
Simplify to find the acceleration:
acceleration = 0.0002 m/s^2
