The astronaut will recoil slightly but quickly stop while the container continues moving away at a constant speed. C. The astronaut moves away in an opposite di ...

... A net force is the resultant (overall/total/sum of) force on an object (when multiple forces interact). If the forces are pointing in the same direction, the forces add, giving a larger net force. If the forces are in opposite direction, the forces subtract, giving a smaller net force (including a z ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
