Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g

ains or losses to adjust diets. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of magnitude 52.0 N is exerted and the magnitude of the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.936 m/s2. Calculate her mass.

Answer:

55.56kg

Explanation:

Given:

F= 52N

a=0.936m/s²

Applyinc Newton's second law, that states: force is equal to mass times acceleration.

F = ma

m=F/a =>52 / 0.936

m=55.56kg

Which sentence from the article supports the idea that the visible spectrum is more limited in marine animals than humans? A Mos
lidiya [134]

Most marine bioluminescence is blue-green, which is easier to see in the deep ocean

Explanation:

As per science,  Emission and production of light by a living organism is defined as Bioluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine animals whereas it is triggered by a physical disturbance is seen by humans, such as a moving boat hull or waves.

Throughout the water column bioluminescent organisms live and bioluminescence is extremely common in deep sea which shows that visible spectrum is more limited to marine animals than humans.

To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo
Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\  P = -2mv_{i}

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}

The ratio of the speed of light in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum
Liula [17]

Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP BEFORE MY TEACHER AND MY MOM KILLES ME PLEASE ASAP
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As you know, the denser objects have more weight per unit of volume, this will mean that the force that pulls down these objects is a bit larger.

This will mean that the denser objects will always go to the bottom.

This clearly implies that the red liquid, the one with one of the smaller densities, can not be at the bottom.

There are some cases where a liquid with a small density may become a lot denser as the temperature or pressure changes, and in a case like that, we could see the red liquid at the bottom, but for this case, there is no mention of changes in the temperature nor in the pressure, so this can be discarded.

The only thing that makes sense is that the red part at the bottom is the base of the tube, and has nothing to do with the red liquid.
