Answer:
The correct option is;
D) The force exerted on the astronaut by Earth is equal to the force exerted on Earth by the astronaut
Explanation:
According to Newton's third law of motion, in nature, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, such that if a first object exerts a certain amount of force on a second object, the second object will exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction to that exerted by the first object
Therefore, the gravitational force exerted by Earth on the astronaut, is equal to the force exerted by the astronaut on Earth.
Answer:
A) speed = 3144287.425 m/s
B) period = 8.57x10^-8 s
C) KE = 3.302x10^-14 J
D) potential difference = 103187.5 V
Explanation:
Detailed explanation and calculation is shown in the image below.
Momentum
mava + mbvb = mava '+ mbvb'
(300 x 10)+(150 x 0) = (300 x 4.12)+(150 x vb')
3000=1236+150vb'
1764 = 150vb'
vb'=+11.76 m/s ≈ +11.8 m/s (positive sign, to the right)
