An astronaut tightens a bolt on a satellite in orbit. He rotates in a direction opposite to that of the bolt, and the satellite

rotates in the same direction as the bolt. Explain why. If a handhold is available on the satellite, can this counter-rotation be prevented

Answer: yes it can be prevented

Explanation:

The sensation of weightlessness that astronauts experience seems to make their tasks almost effortless. However, as Newton's third law of motion suggests, working in space can be physically demanding. 

As he tightens the bolt, he is rotating in the direction opposite to the bolt

It is possible if the handhold is designed in three dimensional motion where the astronaut motion will be the uplimb motion with the mass centre of hand move along circular helix trajectory

Angular momentum is conserved astronaut motion is conserved when net external torque is Zero.

How many meters in 2.50 miles? (Use these two conversions: 1000 m = 1 km and 1.00 km = .621 mi )
Artyom0805 [142]

2.50 miles is equal to 4026 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As it is known that 1000 m =1 km and 1 km = 0.621 miles. So first we have to convert miles to km and then to metre as follows.

As 1 km = 0.621 miles, then

             \text { 1 miles }=\frac{1}{0.621} \mathrm{km}

So, 2.50 miles will be equal to

            2.50 \text { miles }=\frac{2.50}{0.621} \mathrm{km}=4.026 \mathrm{km}

Then, in order to get the answer in meters, we have to convert this km to meter by the conversion of 1000 m =1 km.  So,

           1 \mathrm{km}=1000 \mathrm{m}

Thereby,

          4.026 \mathrm{km}=4026 \mathrm{m}

Which of these rotational quantities is analogous to mass in a linear system?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

i think it is rotational inertia

because analogue of mass in rotational motion is moment of inertia. It plays the same role as mass plays in transnational motion.  

hope it's right & helps !!!!!!!!!

How does an airbag help protect a passenger in a car accident?
Novosadov [1.4K]
Good question. It like a fail safe,if you hit a car tail gate going slightly fast it come out to protect you from hitting your on the the wheel or the mirror. See if you don't have a seat belt or it just don't fully stop you the airbag might help.Like concussions.  I Hope This Help you :)
