Question

An astronaut accidentally gets separated out of his small spaceship accelerating in interstellar space at a constant rate of $100m{s}^{-2}$. What is the acceleration of the astronaut the instant after he is outside the spaceship? (Assume that there are no nearby stars to exert gravitational force on him)

• A. $zero$
• B. $10m{s}^{-2}$
• C. $50m{s}^{-2}$
• D. $100m{s}^{-2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $zero$

Since there is no force on astronaut

$\therefore acc=0$

Hence,

option $\left(A\right)$ is correct answer.
