A space-walking astronaut has become detached from her spaceship. She's floating in space with her handy tool belt attached to h

er waist, thinking about how she might get back to the ship, which she can see 50 meters from her current location.
How can she get back to the ship? Use language from the Laws of Motion in your answer.

Astronauts on a spacewalk use the Newton's third law for navigation. Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction forces act on different bodies.If  a person applies a force on an object, the object applies an equal and opposite force on the person.

The astronaut who has been detached from her spaceship, has a handy tool belt attached to her waist. If she throws a tool in a direction opposite to the direction of the location of the spaceship, the tool exerts an equal force on the astronaut, propelling her in the direction of the ship. To reach the ship, she can keep throwing tools, taking care to throw it  exactly in the opposite direction in which she needs to travel.

Every time a tool is thrown backwards, the astronaut will experience a force in the forward direction in accordance with Newton's third law, ultimately enabling her to get back to the ship.

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

What is the 5 quantitative research problems?<br>​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

There are four main types of Quantitative research: Descriptive, Correlational, Causal-Comparative/Quasi-Experimental, and Experimental Research. attempts to establish cause- effect relationships among the variables. These types of design are very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences.

Explanation:

Quantitative research is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques.

The world speed record on water was set on October
Luda [366]

Answer: Remember speed is distance divided by time, so if he travels 1000 m in 7.045 s, his speed is

(1000 m)/(7.045 s) = 141.9 m/s.

Note there are 1609 metres in a mile, or 1 mi = 1609 m, so m = 1/1609 mi, or

141.9/1609 mi/s = 0.08822 mi/s. Now, note that 1 h = 3600 s, so the speed is

0.08822*3600 mi/h = 317.6 mi/h.
