A 170 kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.25 m/s by pushing off with his legs from a 2600 kg space capsule

. What is the average change in speed in meters/second of the space capsule?

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut, m₁ = 170 kg

Speed of astronaut, v₁ = 2.25 m/s

mass of space capsule, m₂ = 2600 kg

Let v₂ is the speed of the space capsule. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

initial momentum = final momentum

Since, initial momentum is zero. So,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0

170\ kg\times 2.25\ m/s+2600\ kg\times v_2=0

v_2=-0.17\ m/s

So, the change in speed of the space capsule is 0.17 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two resistors, one with 7.00 Ω of resistance and the other with 11.00 Ω of resistance, are connected in series to a 9.00 V batte
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

4.5 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/(R₁+R₂).................. Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, R₁ and R₂ = values of the two resistor.

From the question,

Given: V = 9.00 V, R₁ = 7.00 Ω, R₂ = 11.00  Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = 9²/(7+11)

P = 81/(18)

P = 4.5 Watt.

Hence the power dessipated by the two resistors is 4.5 watt
