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 gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

An airplane flying at an altitude of 6 miles passes directly over a radar antenna. When the airplane is 10 miles away (s = 10),
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

altitude of the Plane h=6\ miles

When Airplane is s=10\ miles away

Distance is changing at the rate of \frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}=290\ mph

From diagram we can write as

h^2+x^2=s^2

differentiate above equation w.r.t time

2h\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}+2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

as altitude is not changing therefore \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

0+x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

at s=10\ miles\ and\ h=6\ miles

substitute the value we get x=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8\ miles

8\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\times 290

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=362.5\ mph
