The upwards force should be 150 newtons. 
If    mg - f = ma    
then   (75)(10) - f = (75)(8)  
750 - f = 600
f = 150
*the acceleration of gravity is simplified to 10

A 90-kg astronaut is stranded in space at a point 6.0 m from his spaceship, and he needs to get back in 4.0 min to control the s
Stella [2.4K]

Momentum = 0.5 * 4 = 2 
to conclude the man’s velocity after he throws the piece of equipment, divide this number by the man’s mass. 

v = 2/90 

This is about 0.0222 m/s. To know if he can move 6 meters at velocity in 4minutes, use the following equation. 

d = v * t, t = 4 * 60 = 240 s 
d = 2/90 * 240 = 5⅓ meters. 

This is ⅔ of a meter from the spaceship. To know the velocity that he must have to move 6 meter, use the same equation. 

6 = v * 240 
v = 6/240 
This is about 0.00416 m/s. 
His final momentum = 90 * 6/240 = 2.25 


To know the velocity of the package, divide this number by the mass of the package. 
v = 2.25/0.5 = 4.5 m/s

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei
Digiron [165]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o

<u>F = 51.3°</u>

Iron filings scattered around a magnet will be most strongly drawn toward the _____.
victus00 [196]
<span>The answer is towards <span>the poles. This is because, at the poles of the magnet, the magnetic field lines get closer together hence indicating that the magnetic force is stronger here. The fields are closest together at the center of the magnet and farthest at the outside side of the magnet. </span></span>
