Amoving company collects data about couches they move and displays the data in a table. the force along the ramp, the angle of the ramp, and the height the couch is raised to are shown. which statements correctly compare the work done to move the couches? check all that apply. the same amount of work is done for couches 1 and 3. the same amount of work is done for couches 2 and 3. the work for couch 1 is greater than the work for couch 2. the work for couch 2 is less than the work for couch 3. the work for couch 3 is greater than the work for couch 1. the work for couch 2 is greater than the work for couch 1.

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 .
