A(n) 69.8 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 60.4 m away from the shuttle

and moving with zero speed relative to the shuttle. She has a(n) 0.886 kg camera in her hand and decides to get back to the shuttle by throwing the camera at a speed of 12 m/s in the direction away from the shuttle. How long will it take for her to reach the shuttle? Answer in minutes. Answer in units of min.

Answer:

The time taken is 6.7 min

Explanation:

Using the linear momentum conservation theorem, we have:

$m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_1*v_{f1}+m_2*v_{f2}$

when she was 60.4m from the shuttle, she has zero speed, so the initial velocity is zero.

$m_1*0+m_2*0=m_1*v_{f1}+m_2*v_{f2}\\m_1*_{f1}=-m_2*v_{f2}\\v_{f1}=-\frac{m_2*v_{f2}}{m_1}\\\\v_{f1}=-\frac{0.886kg*12m/s}{69.8kg}\\\\V_{f1}=-0.15m/s$

That is 0.15m/s in the opposite direction of the camera.

the time taken to get to the shuttle is given by:

$t=\frac{d}{v_{f1}}\\\\t=\frac{60.4m}{0.15m/s}\\\\t=403s\\t_{min}=403s*\frac{1min}{60s}=6.7min$

A cube that has a volume of 1.00 m³ contains N distinguishable particles.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1 P = 0.5

2 P = 0.3

3 P = 0.01

Explanation:

The probability formula is

$P =V^N$

Where P is the probability V is the volume while N is the number of distinguishing particles

So for N = 1 and $V = 0.500m^3$

$P = (0.500m^3)^1\\$

= 0.5

For N = 1 and $V = 0.300m^3$

$P = (0.300m^3)^1$

= 0.3

For N = 1 and $V = 0.0100m^3$

$P =(0.0100m^3)^1$

= 0.01

What does the color of a star determine

Irina-Kira [14]

The color of light that a star emits is somewhat related to its age, whereas the color of light that we actually <em>observe</em> from a star is related to the speed at which it's moving with respect to us.

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

$[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

$[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-$ ...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

$[O]=1s^22s^22p^4$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

$[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$ ..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 24.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

$E = -6 \ N/C$

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the small object is $Q = -4.00 \ nC = -4.00 *10^{-9} \ C$

The force is $F = 24 \ nN = 24 *10^{-9} \ N$

Generally the magnitude of the electric field is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{F}{Q}$

=> $E = \frac{ 24 *10^{-9}} {-4 *10^{-9 }}$

=> $E = -6 \ N/C$

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force
