A 126- kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.70 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1800-kg space capsul

e. Use the reference frame in which the capsule is at rest before the push.
a)What is the velocity of the space capsule after the push in the reference frame?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the velocity is in the direction of the velocity of the astronaut and negative value if the direction of the velocity is in the direction opposite to the velocity of the astronaut.
b)If the push lasts 0.600 s , what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by each on the other?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
c)What is the kinetic energy of the astronaut after the push in the reference frame?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
d)What is the kinetic energy of the capsule after the push in the reference frame?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The change in the speed of the space capsule will be -0.189 m/s.

The average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the astronaut, m_a = 126 kg

Speed he acquires, v_{a}  = 2.70 m/s

Mass of the space capsule, m_{c} = 1800kg

The initial momentum of the astronaut-capsule system is zero due to rest.

P_f = m_av_a + m_cv_c

P_I = 0

m_av_a + m_cv_c = 0

v_c =\frac{- m_a v_a}{m_c}}\\\\

   = \frac{126* 2.70}{1800}

   = - 0.189 m/s

Therefore,

According, to the impulse-momentum theorem;

FΔt = ΔP

ΔP = m Δv

ΔP = 126×2.70

    = 340.2 kgm/sec

t is time interval = 0.600s

F = ΔP/Δt

F = 340.2/0.600

  = 567 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by each on the other will be 567 N.

The Kinetic Energy of the astronaut;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2} × 126 × (2.70) ^2

     = 459.27 J

The Kinetic Energy of the capsule;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

     = \frac{1}{2}×1800×(0.189) ^2

     = 32.14 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of each after the push for the astronaut and the capsule are 459.27 J and 32.14 J.

A man pushes a 35.2 kg box across a frictionless floor with a force of 128 N. What is the acceleration of the box
vodka [1.7K]
The formula for Force is F = MA, or Force is equivalent to the product of Mass and Acceleration. 

F = 128N.
M = 35.2kg.

128 = 35.2A
Divide both sides by 35.2 to solve for the acceleration.
A = ~3.636

The acceleration is 3.636 m/s^2.

I hope this helps!

9. How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle relate to the lengths of the legs? (2 points)
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The pythagorean theorem addresses the length of the hypotenuse in relation to the length of the legs. The square root of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of one leg squared plus the other leg squared. In other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and C is the length of the hypotenuse.</span>
