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

leonid [27]

155Ω

Explanation:

R = R ref ( 1 + ∝ ( T - Tref)  

where R = conduction resistance at temperature T

R ref = conductor resistance at reference temperature

∝ = temperature coefficient of resistance for conductor

T = conduction temperature in degrees Celsius

T ref = reference temperature that ∝ is specified at for the conductor material

T = 600 k - 273 k = 327 °C

Tref = 300 - 273 K = 27 °C

R = 50 Ω ( 1 + 0.007 ( 327 - 27) )

R = 155Ω

A plane is landing. It started at 400m/s and ended up at 50m/s after 30 seconds. What is it's acceleration?
quester [9]

Give u = start velocity

        v = end velocity

v = u + at

50 = 400 + a*30

30a = -350

a = -116.67 m/s^{2}

**Why the accecleration is negative number**

Because displacement, velocity, and acceleration are VECTOR QUANTITIES.

Vector Quantity must have direction.
