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

A 37 cm long solenoid, 1.8 cm in diameter, is to produce a 0.50 T magnetic field at its center. If the maximum current is 4.4 A,
taurus [48]

Answer:

33,458.71 turns

Explanation:

Given: L = 37 cm = 0.37 m, B= 0.50 T, I = 4.4 A, n= number of turn per meter

μ₀ = Permeability of free space = 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷

Solution:

We have B = μ₀ × n × I

⇒ n = B/ (μ₀ × I)

n = 0.50 T / ( 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷ × 4.4 A)

n = 90,428.94 turn/m

No. of turn through 0.37 m long solenoid = 90,428.94 turn/m × 0.37

= 33,458.71 turns

A particle moves at a constant speed of 34 m/s in a circular path of radius 6.3 m. From this information, what can be calculated
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

  • The centripetal acceleration is the motion inwards towards the center of a circular path.
  • <em><u>Centripetal acceleration is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path. </u></em>
  • That is;

         ac = v²/r

         Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the  radius, m
