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.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

20 Hz

15.8 times

Explanation:

A

Although the range of frequency for any human's ear is usually said to be between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. And since the question asked for the least intense frequency, that has to be 20 Hz. Essentially the frequency most people perceive the least intense sound is 20 Hz.

B

A 100-Hz sound must be 10^1.2 times or 15.8 times more intense compared to a 1000-Hz sound to be perceived as equal to 60 phons of loudness

How do you find a controlled variable
adelina 88 [10]

Hello there!


Essentially, a control variable is what is kept the same throughout the experiment, and it is not of primary concern in the experimental outcome. Any change in a control variable in an experiment would invalidate the correlation of dependent variables (DV) to the independent variable (IV), thus skewing the results.
