Answer:
0.2 m/s
Explanation:
given,
mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg
mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg
velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s
speed of astronaut, v' = ?
initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?
Using conservation of momentum
(M + m) V = M v' + m v
(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17
85 v' = -17
v' = -0.2 m/s
negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.
Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s
there are no molecules in it to vibrate
Hello
The kinetic energy K of a moving object is:

where m is the mass and v the velocity of the object.
Using this formula, we can calculate v for this problem:
Answer:
Your answer would be D. be pushed down into their seats.
Explanation:
You can think of it this way:
If you're not wearing a seat belt on an airplane that drops suddenly, in this case, vertically, which often happens with turbulence- you're the one at rest. You'll stay at rest as the plane (literally) drops out from under you.
If you're strapped in, the seat belt serves as an outside force acting on you, taking you with the plane as it drops and saving you from hitting the ceiling.
Always remember Newton's first law of motion: A body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it.
The time between the successive crusts will give the time period of the wave.
So, the time period, T of the given wave is 0.2 s.
The frequency of a wave is the reciprocal of its time period. That is,
Frequency, ν = 
= 
= 5 Hz
Thus, the frequency of the given travelling periodic wave is 5 Hz.
