Answer:
13.7m
Explanation:
Since there's no external force acting on the astronaut or the satellite, the momentum must be conserved before and after the push. Since both are at rest before, momentum is 0.
After the push

Where
is the mass of the astronaut,
is the mass of the satellite,
is the speed of the satellite. We can calculate the speed
of the astronaut:

So the astronaut has a opposite direction with the satellite motion, which is further away from the shuttle. Since it takes 7.5 s for the astronaut to make contact with the shuttle, the distance would be
d = vt = 1.83 * 7.5 = 13.7 m
There is one mistake in the question.The Correct question is here
A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1/2 and t = 1 s? Use Galileo's formula v(t) = −9.8t m/s.
Answer:
y(1s) - y(1/2s) = - 3.675 m
The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.
Explanation:
Given data
time=1/2 sec to 1 sec
v(t)=-9.8t m/s
To find
Distance
Solution
As the acceleration as first derivative of velocity with respect to time
So
acceleration(-g)= dv/dt
Solve it
dv = a dt
dv = -g dt
v - v₀ = -gt
v= dy/dt
dy = v dt
dy = ( v₀ - gt ) dt
y(1s) - y(1/2s) = ( v₀ ) ( 1 - 1/2 ) - ( g/2 )[ ( t1)² -( t1/2s )² ]
y(1s) - y(1/2s) = ( - 9.8/2 ) [ ( 1 )² - ( 1/2 )² ]
y1s - y1/2s = ( - 4.9 m/s² ) ( 3/4 s² )
y(1s) - y(1/2s) = - 3.675 m
The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.
Oceanographer? I think that is what it is.
Answer:
Distance, d = 778.05 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Force acting on the car, F = 981 N
Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg
Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s
We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.
