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.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

$B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}$

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

$F_{2}=I_2lB_1$

$F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

$F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$ According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

$F_2=-F_1$

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.

A patient comes to an outpatient laboratory for a physician-ordered fasting test. The patient indicates that he forgot that the

Fynjy0 [20]

The patient eating a candy bar instead of fasting for the test should be told

that the test results will be wrong and he may receive a wrong diagnosis.

The medical practitioners told him to fast when coming for a reason and he

forgetting and eating something means the objective for the test may have

been defeated.

This is why it's best to explain to him about the consequences of his actions

which is likely getting a wrong result and diagnosis.

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 19.0° north of east at 5.60 m/s. What are the x-

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of ship = 2.00 m/s due south

Velocity of boat = 5.60 m/s due north

Angle = 19.0°

We need to calculate the component

The velocity of the ship in term x and y coordinate

$v_{s_{x}}=0$

$v_{s_{y}}=2.0\ m/s$

The velocity of the boat in term x and y coordinate

For x component,

$v_{b_{x}}=v_{b}\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{x}}=5.60\cos19$

$v_{b_{x}}=5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{b_{y}}=v_{b}\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{y}}=5.60\sin19$

$v_{b_{y}}=1.82\ m/s$

We need to calculate the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

For x component,

$v_{sb_{x}}=v_{s_{x}}-v_{b_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=0-5.29$

$v_{sb}_{x}=-5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{sb_{y}}=v_{s_{y}}-v_{b_{y}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=2.-1.82$

$v_{sb}_{x}=0.18\ m/s$

Hence, The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

1. (30 pts) Let x(t) = cos(πt/2) be a continuous-time signal,

posledela

Given that the function of the wave is f(x) = cos(π•t/2), we have;

a. The graph of the function is attached

b. 4 units of time

c. Even

d. 4.935 J/kg

e. 1.234 W/kg

<h3>How can the factors of the wave be found?</h3>

a. Please find attached the graph of the signal created with GeoGebra

b. The period of the signal, T = 2•π/(π/2) = <u>4</u>

c. The signal is <u>even</u>, given that it is symmetrical about the y-axis

d. The energy of the signal is given by the formula;

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot \mu^{2} \cdot \omega ^{2} \cdot \: {a}^{2} \times \lambda$

Which gives;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 = <u>4.935 J/kg</u>

e. The power of the wave is given by the formula;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 × 0.25 = <u>1.234 W/</u><u>kg</u>
