The magnitude of the acceleration of the astronaut : <u>0.2 m/s²</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

∑F = m. a

$\large {\boxed {\bold {a = \frac {\sum F} {m}}}$

F = force, N

m = mass = kg

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²

the astronaut throws the tool with a force of 16.0 N ⇒ F = 16 N

the total mass of the astronaut after she throws the tool is 80.0 kg

⇒ m = 80 kg

magnitude of the acceleration of the astronaut during the throw

$\rm a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{16\:N}{80\:kg}\\\\a=\boxed{\bold{0.2\:\dfrac{m}{s^2}}}$

From Newton’s second law of motion, the value of the force is calculated by multiplying the mass and the acceleration as,

<span> F = mass x acceleration</span>

If we substitute the known values into the equation,

<span> 16 N = 80 kg x acceleration</span>

<span> Acceleration = 0.2 m/s<span>2</span></span>

An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the

poizon [28]

Answer:

The value is $A = 0.014 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the object is $m = 2.0 \ kg$

The unstressed length of the string is $l = 0.08 \ m$

The length of the spring when it is at equilibrium is $l_e = 5.9 \ cm = 0.059 \ m$

The initial speed (maximum speed)of the spring when given a downward blow $v = 0.30 \ m/s$

Generally the maximum speed of the spring is mathematically represented as

$u = A * w$

Here A is maximum height above the floor (i.e the maximum amplitude)

and $w$ is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as

$w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

So

$u = A * \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

=> $A = u * \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

Gnerally the length of the compression(Here an assumption that the spring was compressed to the ground by the hammer is made) by the hammer is mathematically represented as

$b = l -l_e$

=> $b = 0.08 - 0.05 9$

=> $b = 0.021 \ m$

Generally at equilibrium position the net force acting on the spring is

$k * b - mg = 0$

=> $k * 0.021 - 2 * 9.8 = 0$

=> $k = 933 \ N/m$

So

$A = 0.30 * \sqrt{\frac{2}{933} }$

=> $A = 0.014 \ m$

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$V_0$

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, $M$ , when released by the robot from the height, $H$ , with the horizontal speed $V_0$ is $D$ as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is $0$ .

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. $V_0$ will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is $t$ , then

$D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)$

Now, from the equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)$

Where $s$ is the displacement is the direction of force, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the constant acceleration and $t$ is time.

Here, $s= -H, u=0,$ and $a=-g$ (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in $+y$ direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

$-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2$

$\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)$

Similarly, for the launched height $2H$ , the new time of flight, $t'$ , is

$t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}$

From equation (iii), we have

$\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)$

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed $V_0$ or $2V_0$ .

Let, the distance covered in the $x-$ direction be $D_1$ for $V_0$ and $D_2$ for $2V_0$ , we have

$D_1=V_0t'$

$D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D$ (approximately)

This is in the $3$ points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, $D_2=2V_0t'$

$D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D$ (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for $2V_0$ .

Hence, students must choose the speed $V_0$ to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

What is the internal energy of 2.00 mol of diatomic hydrogen gas (H2) at 35°C?

djyliett [7]

As you mentioned, we will use <span>Equipartition Theorem.
</span><span>H2 has 5 degrees of freedom; 3 translations and 2 rotation
</span>Therefore:
Internal energy = (5/2) nRT
You just substitute in the equation with the values of R and T and calculate the internal energy as follows:
Internal energy = (5/2) x 2 x <span>8.314 x 308 = 32.0089 x 10^3 J</span>
