The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the st

ation so she accelerates at 1.50 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the space station as the astronaut is pushing off the wall? Give your answer relative to an observer who is space walking and therefore does not accelerate with the space station due to the push.

Answer:

a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the system is in international space station

so here we can say that net force on the system is zero here

so Force by the astronaut on the space station = Force due to space station on boy

so here we know that

mass of boy = 70 kg

acceleration of boy = 1.50 m/s^2

now we know that

F = ma

F = 70(1.50) = 105 N

now for the space station will be same as above force

F = ma

105 = 1.8 \times 10^5 (a)

a = \frac{105}{1.8 \times 10^5}

a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2

How can inclined planes change the amount of force to move an object? A. Increase height of the inclined plane B. Increase dista
mash [69]

Answer:

Option ( B ) is correct .

Explanation:

To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.

If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted

potential energy acquired by weight = mgh

work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .

mg sinθ x d = mgh  ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )

d = h / sinθ

d will be more than h

Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.

Hence option ( B ) is correct .

How does Ben and Jerry's total displacement compare to their distance traveled?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:comparing the total displacement and tota distance covered by Ben Jerry.

Explanation:

Total distance travelled by both is;

m+n=z

Total displacement of both is;

x+y=z

Therefore;

comparing equation 1 and 2;

x+y=m+n

A weightlifter lifted 800 Newtons to a height of 2.5 meters. What is the power output if this was
stiv31 [10]

The power required is 1.6 kW.

Answer:

Explanation:

Power is defined as the amount of work done on any object for a given time interval. In other words, power is the amount of force required to move an object in a given period of time.

Power = Work done / time taken for that work done.

Here the force is given as 800 N and the displacement is given as 2.5 m, while the time required for the displacement is given as 1.22 seconds.

So the power will be ratio of the  product of force acting on the weightlifter, displacement of the weight to the time taken for that displacement.

Power = (800×2.5)/1.22 =1639 W

So the power required is 1.6 kW.
