A 92-kg astronaut and a 2000-kg satellite are at rest relative to a space station. the astronaut pushes on the satellite, giving

it a speed of 0.14 m/s directly away from the station. seven and a half seconds later the astronaut comes into contact with the station. part a what was the initial distance from the station to the astronaut?

Momentum is conserved. 

<span>Momentum of the satellite is 1600*0.14=224 kg-m/sec </span>
<span>Resulting momentum of the astronaut will be equal -- hence </span>
<span>86*v=224 or the velocity of the astronaut is 2.60 m/sec </span>

<span>In 7.5 seconds the astronaut would travel 19.53 meters</span>

Answer:

22.8 s

Explanation:

First we calculate the change in momentum of the satellite.

ΔP = 2000 kg (0.14 m/s 0 m/s) = 280 kg·m/s

The change in momentum of the satellite is equal to the change in momentum of the astronaut as a result of Newton's Third law. Therefore:

280 kg·m/s = 92kg * v

                 v = 3.04 m/s

d = speed * time = 3.04 m/s * 7.5 s = 22.8 m

What is the change of momentum on a 45,000 kg airplane when it changes its velocity from 242 m/s to 258 m/s?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

720,000

Explanation:

change in momentum = m (v2-v1)

= 45,000(258-242)= 720,000

You are pushing a 60 kg block of ice across the ground. You exert a constant force of 9 N on the block of ice. You let go after
kotykmax [81]

Answer: d = 33 cm or 0.33 m

Explanation: In physics, Work is the amount of energy transferred to an object to make it move. It can be expressed by:

W = F.d.cosθ

F is the force applied to the object, d is the displacement and θ is the angle formed between the force and the displacement.

For the ice block, the angle is 0, i.e., force and distance are at the same direction, so:

W = F.d.cos(0)

W = F.d

To determine d:

d = \frac{W}{F}

d = \frac{3}{9}

d = 0.33 m

The distance d the block ice moved is 33 cm.

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦
bija089 [108]
At stp (standard temperature and pressure), the temperature is T=0 C=273 K and the pressure is p=1.00 atm. So we can use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of helium:
pV=nRT
where p is the pressure (1.00 atm), V the volume (20.0 L), n the number of moles, T the temperature (273 K) and R=0.082 atm L K^{-1} mol^{-1} the gas constant. Using the numbers and re-arranging the formula, we can calculate n:
n= \frac{pV}{RT}= \frac{(1.00atm)(20.0L)}{(0.082 LatmK^{-1}mol^{-1})(273 K)}=0.89 mol
