A sun yacht is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny in everyday circumstances, it can be large enough to send the spacecraft outward from the Sun on a cost-free but slow trip. Suppose that the spacecraft has a mass of 700 kg and receives a push of 28 N.
(a) What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration?
m/s2
(b) If the craft starts from rest, how far will it travel in 1 day?
m
(c) How fast will it then be moving?
m/s
