An astronaut out on a spacewalk to construct a new section of the International Space Station walks with a constant velocity of

2.30 m/s on a flat sheet of metal placed on a flat, frictionless, horizontal honeycomb surface linking the two parts of the station. The mass of the astronaut is 71.0 kg, and the mass of the sheet of metal is 230 kg. (Assume that the given velocity is relative to the flat sheet.)
Required:
a. What is the velocity of the metal sheet relative to the honeycomb surface?
b. What is the speed of the astronaut relative to the honeycomb surface?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of astronaut be u and the velocity of flat sheet of metal plate be v . They will move in opposite direction ,  so their relative velocity

= u + v = 2.3 m /s ( given )

We shall apply conservation of momentum law for the movement of astronaut and metal plate

mu  = M v where m is mass of astronaut , M is mass of metal plate

71 u = 230 x v

71 ( 2.3 - v ) = 230 v

163.3 = 301 v

v = .54 m / s

u = 1.76 m / s

honeycomb will be at rest  because honeycomb surface  is frictionless . Plate will slip over it . Over plate astronaut is walking .

a ) velocity of metal sheet relative to honeycomb will be - 1.76 m /s

b ) velocity of astronaut relative to honeycomb will be + .54 m /s

Here + ve direction is assumed to be the direction of astronaut .

In order to increase the amount of work completed, it is necessary to decrease the force applied to an object. decrease the time
wlad13 [49]
<span> <span> The answer to your question is: increase the force applied to the object.

Two items are provided as a basis for that conclusion:
1. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the formula for finding force is: F = ma
where F is the force,
m is the mass of an object,
and a is the acceleration of the object.

And 2: work = force x distance or W = F x d.</span></span>

If it takes 200 joules of energy to lift a bucket of water 3 meters in 2 seconds, how much power would be required to do the sam
Harlamova29_29 [7]

200 joules of work energy are involved.  That's all we need to know to answer the question.  Once we know that 200 joules of work energy are involved, we don't care what was lifted, or how far, or how long it took, or how many people worked on it, or how much they were paid, or what was the distribution of their gender identities, or the ethnic diversity among the team. or what day each of them celebrates as their sabbath.  Any other information besides the 200 joules is only there to distract us, and see whether we're paying attention.

Power = (work or energy) / (time to do the work or move the energy)

Power = (200 joules) / (5 seconds)

<em>Power = 40 watts</em>

A car goes from 0 to 26.8 m/s in 6.2 s. What is the average acceleration of the car?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

0 - 60 mph = 0 - 26.8 m/s = 0 - 96.6 km/h; 0 - 100 km/h = 0 - 27.8 m/s = 0 - 62.1 mph.

Despite a very strong wind, a tennis player
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Option 5. 1 and 3

Solution:

The only forces acting on the tennis ball after it has left contact with the racquet and the instant before it touches the ground are the force of gravity in the downward direction and the force by the air exerted on the ball.

The ball after it left follows the path of trajectory and as it moves forward in the horizontal direction the force of the air acts on it.

In the whole projectile motion of the ball, the acceleration due to gravity acts on the ball thus the force of gravity acts on the ball in the downward direction  before it hits the ground.
