Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10

v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s

7. A 1.0 kg metal head of a geology hammer strikes a solid rock with a velocity of 5.0 m/s. Assuming all the energy is retained
marta [7]

The increase in temperature of the metal hammer is 0.028 ⁰C.

The given parameters:

  • <em>mass of the metal hammer, m = 1.0 kg</em>
  • <em>speed of the hammer, v = 5.0 m/s</em>
  • <em>specific heat capacity of iron, 450 J/kg⁰C</em>

The increase in temperature of the metal hammer is calculated as follows;

Q = K.E\\\\mc \Delta T = \frac{1}{2}  mv^2\\\\\Delta T = \frac{v^2}{2 c}

where;

<em>c is the </em><em>specific heat capacity</em><em> of the metal hammer</em>

<em />

Assuming the metal hammer is iron, c = 450 J/kg⁰C

\Delta T = \frac{5^2}{2 \times 450} \\\\\Delta T = 0.028 \ ^0C

Thus, the increase in temperature of the metal hammer is 0.028 ⁰C.

A proton moves with a speed of 1.00 x 106 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field, B. As a result, the proton moves in circle of r
Softa [21]

Answer:

0.0109 m ≈ 10.9 mm

Explanation:

proton speed = 1 * 10^6 m/s

radius in which the proton moves = 20 m

<u>determine the radius of the circle in which an electron would move </u>

we will apply the formula for calculating the centripetal force for both proton and electron ( Lorentz force formula)

For proton :

Mp*V^2 / rp  = qp *VB   ∴  rp = Mp*V / qP*B    ---------- ( 1 )

For electron:

re = Me*V/ qE * B -------- ( 2 )

Next: take the ratio of equations 1 and 2

re / rp = Me / Mp                                 ( note: qE = qP = 1.6 * 10^-19 C )

∴ re ( radius of the electron orbit )

= ( Me / Mp ) rp

= ( 9.1 * 10^-31 / 1.67 * 10^-27 ) 20

= ( 5.45 * 10^-4 ) * 20

= 0.0109 m ≈ 10.9 mm
