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

Find the force between 2C and -1C separated by a distance 1m. Indicate if it is an attractive force (negative) or a repulsive fo
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Its definitely an Attractive force since the two charges are Unlike.

From Coulombs Law

F=kq1q2/R²

Given

K=9x10^9

R=1m

q1=2C

q2=-1C

F=(9x10^9 x 2 x -1)/1²

F= - 1.8x10^10N. (Attractive).

A neutral solid metal sphere of radius 0.1 m is at the origin, polarized by a point charge of 2 × 10−8 C at location m. At locat
liraira [26]

Answer: E = 1.8 *10 ^{4} N

Explanation: The formulae for intensity of an electric field of a solid metal sphere relative to a point is given below

E =\frac{Kq}{r^{2} } r

where  k=9* 10^{9}N/m^{2}, q=2 *10 ^{-8} c , r = 0.1m r = is the position vector of the charge.

it has been stated in the question that the charge is placed at the center thus it has no position vector.

E=\frac{9 * 10^{9}* 2* 10^{-8}  }{0.1^{2} }\\ =\frac{18* 10^{1} }{0.01} \\=\frac{18* 10^{1} }{1 *10^{-2} } = 1.8*10^{4} N

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
vampirchik [111]
They are poor conductors because they keep the heat trapped in one spot, while other materials like metal let the heat go through itself.
