Two astronauts are taking a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. The first astronaut has a mass of 85.2 kg. The se

cond has a mass of 65.4 kg. Initially, both astronauts have zero velocity relative to each other. Then, the astronauts push against each other, giving the first astronaut a final velocity of 1.2 m/s to the left. If the momentum of the system is conserved, what is the final velocity of the second person?
A. 1.3 m/s to the left
B. 1.6 m/s to the right
C. 1.6 m/s to the left
D. 1.3 m/s to the right

The final velocity of the second person after the collision is determined as 1.6 m/s to the right.

<h3>Final velocity of the second person</h3>

The final velocity of the second person is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

85.2(0) + 65.4(0) = 85.2(-1.2) + 65.4(v2)

0 = -102.24 + 65.4v2

65.4v2 = 102.24

v2 = 1.56 m/s to the right

Thus, the final velocity of the second person after the collision is determined as 1.6 m/s to the right.

Consider three scenarios in which a particular box moves downward under the pull of gravity :
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. True  WA > WB > WC

Explanation:

In this exercise they give work for several different configurations and ask that we show the relationship between them, the best way to do this is to calculate each work separately.

A) Work is the product of force by distance and the cosine of the angle between them

    WA = W h cos 0

   WA = mg h

B) On a ramp without rubbing

     Sin30 = h / L

     L = h / sin 30

     WB = F d cos θ  

     WB = F L cos 30

     WB = mf (h / sin30) cos 30

     WB = mg h ctan 30

C) Ramp with rubbing

    W sin 30 - fr = ma

   N- Wcos30 = 0

   W sin 30 - μ W cos 30 = ma

    F = W (sin30 - μ cos30)

   WC = mg (sin30 - μ cos30) h / sin30

   Wc = mg (1 - μ ctan30) h

When we review the affirmation it is the work where there is rubbing is the smallest and the work where it comes in free fall at the maximum

Let's review the claims

1. True The work of gravity is the greatest and the work where there is friction is the least

2 False. The job where there is friction is the least

3 False work with rubbing is the least

4 False work with rubbing is the least

A ray diagram is shown. what does the letter x represent?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: Letter X in the diagram represent the angle of incidence

Explanation: One of the properties of wave is reflection. But before reflection can occur, there must have been a directed motion of wave particle towards a plane surface. The angle of incidence is the angle between the direction of motion of the wave particle ( for example; light) and the normal to the plane surface.

A 3 μf capacitor is connected to a 6 v battery. what is the charge on each plate of the capacitor?
Lapatulllka [165]
C = 3 uf = 3 × 10^(-6) f
v = 6volts
Q = C.v
 = <span>3 × 10^(-6) </span>× 6
 = 18 × 10^(-6)
 = 1.8 = 10^(-5)
