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.

A 15-µF capacitor and a 25-µF capacitor are connected in parallel, and charged to a potential difference of 60 V. How much energ
Alborosie

Answer:

Energy stored, E = 0.072 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance, C_1=15\ \mu F

Capacitance, C_2=25\ \mu F

These two capacitor are connected in parallel, and charged to a potential difference of, V = 60 volts

We know that in parallel combination of capacitor, the equivalent capacitance is given by :

C=C_1+C_2\\\\C=(15+25)\ \mu F\\\\C=40\times 10^{-6}\ F

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 40\times 10^{-6}\times (60)^2\\\\E=0.072\ J

So, the energy stored in the capacitor in this capacitor combination is 0.072 J.

Can someone please help me answer 14 and 15??
ziro4ka [17]
14. The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.

15.
About 5.4 billion years from now, the sun will have exhausted all of its hydrogen. The sun's core will get really hot and dense, thus shrinking; however, the outer region of the sun will expand and grow. ... Even if the expanding dying sun doesn't reach Earth, the sun's high temperatures will completely burn the planet.

A wire is stretched 30% what is the percent age change in resistance?​
IgorC [24]

The Resistance is directly proportional to conductor length. Therefore 30% increase in wire length will increase the resistance by 30%.

The average mass of 1 baking soda compound is 84 amu After it reacts with 1 vinegar molecule the total mass of the product is 14
sukhopar [10]

I think its 60. I think you would subtract 144-84 to get the mass of the vinegar molecule.

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that can travel through air. Would you expect sound waves to travel faster through a low-dens
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Sound waves travel faster in a low-density gas

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that sound waves are pressure waves: they consist of oscillations of the particles in a medium, which oscillate back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave (longitudinal wave).

The speed of sound in an ideal gas is given by the equation

v=\sqrt{\gamma \frac{p}{\rho}}

where

\gamma is the adiabatic index of the gas

p is the gas pressure

\rho is the gas density

From the equation, we see that the speed of sound is inversely proportional to the square root of the density: therefore, the lower the density, the faster the sound waves.

So, sound waves will travel faster in a low-density gas.
