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.

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that
3241004551 [841]
Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull

What temperatures will you find the fourth state of matter?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:Source The core of plasma ranges in temperature from 11,000° – 14,500° Fahrenheit, thus limiting its applicable uses.

Explanation:

As an ionized gas, plasma's electron density is balanced by positive ions and contains a sufficient amount of electrically charged particles to affect its electrical properties and behavior.

Uma partícula com carga “Q”, no vácuo, gera um potencial elétrico de 600 volts a uma distância de 6,0 m, determine o valor dessa
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

q =  400 nC

the correct answer is b

Explanation:

The expression for the electric potential of a point charge is

            V = k q / r

they ask us for the electrical charge

          q = V r / k

let's calculate

         Q = 600 6.0 / 9 10⁹

         Q = 4 10⁻⁷ C

let's reduce to nC

          Q = 4 10⁻⁷ C (10⁹ nC / 1C)

          q = 4 10² nC = 400 nC

the correct answer is b

La expresión para el potencial eléctrico de una carga puntual es

            V = k q/r

nos piden la carga eléctrica

          q= V r /k

          calculemos

         Q= 600  6,0 / 9 10⁹

         Q=  4 10⁻⁷ C

reduzcamos a nC

          Q = 4 10⁻⁷ C(10⁹ nC/1C )  

          q = 4 10² nC = 400 nC

la respuesta correcta es b
