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

Select the correct definition for each of the following terms:
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

1)A

2)B

3)C

4) D

5) C

Explanation:

1)

System is an isolation of matter that has been chosen out of the universe and studied.

2)

Surroundings are everything outside the system that interacts with the matter within the system externally

3)

Thermal energy is associated with constant random motion of atoms and molecules associated with Temperature.

4)

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds between the atoms and molecules. Breaking and making of these bonds lead to releasing and absorbing of energy to surroundings.

5)

Kinetic Energy is the energy associated with the motion of the particles.

A charged particle is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field in a circle with a radius r. An identical charge particle enters
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<em>The second particle will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle</em>

Explanation:

For a charged particle, the force on the particle is given as

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

also recall that work is force times the distance traveled

work = F x d

so, the work on the particle = F x d,

where the distance traveled by the particle in one revolution = 2\pi r

Work on a particle = 2πrF = 2\pi mv^{2}

This work is proportional to the energy of the particle.

And the work is also proportional to the radius of travel of the particles.

Since the second particle has a bigger speed v, when compared to the speed of the first particle, then, the the second particle has more energy, and thus will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle.
