Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine the
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

ma = 48.48kg

Explanation:

To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m_c}{k}}     (1)

mc: mass of the chair

k: spring constant = 600N/m

T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s

You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:

m_c=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(0.9s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}=12.31kg    (2)

Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:

T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s

M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\\\\M=\frac{T'^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(2.0s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}\\\\M=60.79kg (3)

Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :

m_a=M-m_c=60.79kg-12.31kg=48.48kg

The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg

Choose the correct statement regarding the sign conventions for lenses.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

a) false

b) True

c) True

d) False

e) False

Explanation:

a) False

For a diverging lens, the focal length is negative while it is positive for a converging lens

b) True

Image distances  for virtual images are always negative and it also forms on the the same side of the lens as the object and is enlarged

c) True

d) False

For a diverging lens, the focal length is negative while it is positive for a converging lens

e) False

Image distances  for virtual images are always negative and it also forms on the the same side of the lens as the object and is enlarged

Is it accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Yes, it is <span>accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy. Some people might argue about the dark matter, but it is not yet defined properly. Different universes can be made up of different compositions but it is a fact that our universe is made of matter and energy. </span>

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1. 571.43m/s

2. 142.9m and 342.9m

Explanation:

1.Take the difference in time.

1.2-0.7=0.7 seconds

Take the distance between them and divide with differnce in time.

400÷0.7=571.43 seconds.

2.Take the time of the two men and divide by two.

0.5÷2= 0.25 secs

1.2÷2= 0.6 secs

multiply each with the velocity.

0.25×571.43=142.9m

0.6×571.43=342.9m
