An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get
Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O

where,

m=Total mass

m_O = Mass of Object

V_i = Velocity before throwing

V_f = Final Velocity

V_O = Velocity of Object

Our values are:

m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) 5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s

V_{f1}=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f1}=\frac{(98.7)*0+5.3*15}{98.7-5.3}

V_{f1}=0.8511m/s

B) 7.9Kg\rightarrow 11.2m/s

V_{f2}=\frac{mV_{f1}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f2}=\frac{(98.7)(0.8511)+(7.9)(11.2)}{98.7-5.3-7.9}

V_{f2} = 2.0173m/s

C) 10.5Kg\rightarrow 7m/s

V_{f3}=\frac{mV_{f2}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f3}=\frac{(98.7)(2.0173)+(10.5)(7)}{98.7-5.3-7.9-10.5}

V_{f3} = 3.63478m/s

Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.8m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels
katovenus [111]

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here,

v = Velocity

\mu= Linear density (Mass per  unit length)

T = Tension

Rearranging to find the Period we have that

T = v^2 \mu

T = v^2 (\frac{m}{L})

As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to

T = (\frac{L}{t}) ^2(\frac{m}{L})

T = (\frac{7.8}{0.83})^2 (\frac{0.49}{7.8})

T = 5.54N

Therefore the tension is 5.54N

How many carbon-14 atoms are left after 1 half-life
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The time it takes for 14C to radioactively decay is described by its half-life. C has a half-life of 5,730 years. In other words, after 5,730 years, only half of the original amount of 14C remains in a sample of organic material. After an additional 5,730 years–or 11,460 years total–only a quarter of the 14C remains.

Explanation:

Hope this helps
