The use of liquid fuel revolutionized:
a. observation of planets from earth
b. ideas about the orbits of planets
c. space exploration and travel
d. calculation of astronomical distances

The astronauts on the space shuttle flights experienced an acceleration of 29 m/s2 (about 3 "g's") during lift-off. what upward force must the astronaut's seat apply to the astronaut in order to cause this acceleration? assume the astronaut's mass is 70 kg, and compute this force when the acceleration is near the earth's surface so their weight equals latex: mg m g .
