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?
Physics

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.

nydimaria [60]

Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

Hope it helped! :>
