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

A circuit has a 9.0 V power supply and two 15 Ω resistors connected in parallel. what is the voltage across each resistor?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

B. 9.0 V

Explanation:

In parallel circuits, the voltage across each circuit is the same across each component, which is also equal to the total voltage of the power supplied. So in this case, the voltage across each resistor is still 9.0V.

The voltage only changes when the resistors can connected in series.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

330.24 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency, f = 320 Hz

L1 = 25.8 cm

L2 = 78.4 cm

L3 = 131.1 cm

Let the wavelength be λ

Then, L1 which is the length of the column of air is  λ/4.

λ/4 = 25.8 cm

λ = 25.8 × 4 = 103.2 cm = 1.032 m

Then, speed of sound in air is:

v = λ f

⇒ v = 1.032 × 320 Hz

⇒ v = 330.24 m/s
