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)

Answer 1

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
