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

Calculate the period (T) of uniform circular motion if the velocity is 40.0 m/s and centripetal acceleration is 20.0 m/s2.
kirill [66]
T is the time for a whole round.

centripetal acceleration = V^2/R,

20 = 40^2 / R, find R = 40^2/20 = 40*40/20 = 80 m, right?

Now, one round is L = 2*pi*R = 2*pi*80 = 160*pi

And T = L/v (distance/speed) = 160*pi/40 = 4*pi seconds, or ~ 12.57 s

The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

France. True Supply increased and demand did not adapt

Explanation:

If the price of coffee decreases it may be due to two causes

- Increase of the offer

- decrease in demand

- both simultaneously.

Let's examine the statement. They tell us that the amount sold remained constant, so there is no decrease in demand, therefore the only cause may be the increase in supply.

Let's check the answers

Antonio     False. The demand is constant.

Carolina.   False. The demand is constant.

Dmitri        False. The demand is constant.

France.     True Supply increased and demand did not adapt

Jake.         False. Demand did not adapt to the increase in supply

What happens to light that strikes a piece of glass
Leya [2.2K]
If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass. However, much of the light will pass through the glass, because glass is transparent. ... This 'bending of a ray of light' when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.

What is the car's average velocity (in m/s) in the interval between t = 1.0 s<br> to t = 1.5 s?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

1.4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following data:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Velocity (v) =..?

The velocity of an object can be defined as the rate of change of the displacement of the object with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as follow:

Velocity = change of displacement /time

v = Δd / Δt

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the velocity of the car as follow:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Change in displacement (Δd) = d2 – d1 = 1.6 – 0.9

= 0.7 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Change in time (Δt) = t2 – t1

= 2 – 1.5

= 0.5 s

Velocity (v) =..?

v = Δd / Δt

v = 0.7/0.5

v = 1.4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 1.4 m/s
