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

Answer:

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour for 4 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during this time?

✓ Distance = Speed * Time Distance = 50,000 * 4 Distance = 200,000 km. Hope this helps

A 72-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.61 m,
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

2849.98 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the boy = change Potential energy of the boy + change in kinetic energy of the boy

W = ΔP + ΔK..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done by the boy, ΔP = change in potential energy of the boy, ΔK = Change in kinetic energy of the boy.

But,

ΔP = mgΔh.................... Equation 2

ΔK = 1/2mΔv²................. Equation 3

Where m = mass of the boy, Δh = change in height of the boy, Δv = change in velocity of the boy.

Substitute equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

W = mgΔh+1/2mΔv²................. Equation 4

Given: m = 72 kg, Δh = 1.61 m, Δv = 8.5-1.6 = 6.9 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 72(9.8)(1.61)+1/2(72)(6.9²)

W = 1136.016+1713.96

W = 2849.98 J

A knight moves on a chessboard two squares up, down, left, or right followedby one square in one of the two directions perpendic
Contact [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Check attachment for solution.

Generally the movement of the knight is L, i.e (2,1), (1,2),(-1,2),(1,-2) etc.

So using Pythagoras theorem

x^2+y^2=1^2+2^2

x^2+y^2=5

Then, the knight will make one movement when the displacement is √5.

So let take a look at other positions

(1,0),(0,1),(-1,0), (0,-1).

Then, for us to have this kind of movement, the knight has to make 3 movements.

When the displacement is 1, then it will make 3 movement.

Let examine other positions

(2,2) or(-2,-2) or (2,-2) or (-2,2)

When the displacement is √8

Then, the movement of the knight is 4.

Let examine other points

(2,0) or (0,2) or (-2,0) or (0,-2)

When the displacement is 2.

The knight make 2 movement
