Question
A 63 kg astronaut drifting with 7.0 m/s to the right with
respect to a spacecraft uses a jetpack to slow down.
Suppose it takes 14.0 s to come to a stop with respect to the spacecraft. What is the force exerted by the jetpack?

Answer:
31.5N
Explanation:
M = 63kg, v = 7.0m/s t = 14.0s F =?
Force = Mass * acceleration
but acceleration = change in velocity / time
a = dV/dt
F = (63 * 7.0) / 14
F = 31.5N
