An astronaut having mass 320 kg with equipment included is attempting an untethered space walk. The astronaut is initially at re

st with respect to the nearby spacecraft, but discharges 30.0 g of nitrogen gas at 900.0 m/s from a portable propulsion unit. How fast is the astronaut moving after doing that?
84 m/s

27 m/s

0.36 m/s

0.084 m/s

This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut

An observer notices that 12 waves pass by in 4 seconds. What is the frequency of these waves? 0.33 Hz 16 Hz 48 Hz 3 Hz
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Frequency = 3 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency is a measure of Hertz. Recall that Hertz is the unit expressing cycles/second, where one second is the denominator of the fraction for simplicity. If there are 12 waves every four seconds, and one wave represents one cycle, dividing 12 waves by 4 seconds will give the answer of 3 waves (or cycles) per one second.

which of these changes does a submarine encounter as it returns from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the ocean
fiasKO [112]

a.the amount of sunlight increases.

Explanation:

As a submarine rises to the surface, the change it encounters that is true from the given options is that the amount of sunlight increases.

The bottom of the ocean is dark and receives little to no sunlight due to the scattering of the rays by ocean water.

  • As the submarine rises, the volume of water column on it decreases and the pressure on it decreases too.
  • Also, the temperature rises steadily to the surface.

An astronaut on a space walk floats a little too far away from the space station. Without air to push against, he cannot paddle
Artyom0805 [142]
He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.
