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

diamong [38]
The answer to this question would be:3850ft

To answer this question, you need to convert the speed velocity from miles/hour into feet/second. The equation would be: 750 miles/hour x 5280 foot/mile x 1 hour/3600second = 1100 ft/s
Then multiply the time with the velocity= 3.5 second x 1100 ft/s= 3850ft

What is the reaction force if a girl pulls on a cow?
Papessa [141]
Answer : B) The cow pulls back on the girl.

From newton’s third law we know that every action has a reaction force pushing back. So when the girl pulls on a cow, the cow is pulling back on her.
