Answer:

0.2 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg

mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg

velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s

speed of astronaut, v' = ?

initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?

Using conservation of momentum

(M + m) V = M v' + m v

(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17

85 v' = -17

  v' = -0.2 m/s

negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.

Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s

7) T F If two forces of equal magnitude act on an object that is hinged at a pivot, the force acting farther from the pivot must
saul85 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau=Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot

\theta is the angle between the directions of F and d

We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have

d_1 > d_2

However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have

\theta_1 =0\\sin \theta=0

and the torque produced by this force would be zero.

So, the statement is false.

Gre4nikov [31]
Data:

Time (t) = 5 seconds
Final Velocity (v) = 0 [as the car comes to rest]
<span>Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s
</span>Acceleration = ? <span>(Negative because it is braking)</span>

Acceleration =  \frac{v-u}{t}
Acceleration = \frac{0-20}{5}
\boxed{Acceleration = - 4m/s^2}

First, you will investigate purely vertical motion. The kinematics equation for vertical motion (ignoring air resistance) is giv
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

2.85 s .

Explanation:

y(t) = y(0) + v₀t + 1/2 gt²

y(t) is vertical displacement , y(0) is initial position , v₀ is initial velocity and t is time required to make vertical displacement and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Here  y(0) is zero , v₀ = 14 m/s , g = 9.8 m s⁻² , y(t ) = 0 , as the pumpkin after time t comes back to its initial position, that is ground .

We shall take v₀ as negative as it is in upward direction and g as positive as it acts in downward direction

Put the values in the equation above,

0 = 0 - 14t + 1/2 x 9.8 t²

14 t = 1/2 x 9.8 t²

t = 28 / 9.8

t = 2.85 s .
