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

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The atoms ,molecules, or compound present at the start of a chemical reaction that parcitipate in the reaction are <u><em>the reactants.</em></u>

Explanation:

The chemical reaction is the way in which one substance reacts against another. So, a chemical reaction consists of the transformation of some substances into others, that is, the process of arranging atoms and bonds when chemical substances come into contact.

In a chemical reaction, the initial substances are called reactants, while the new substances obtained are called products.

So, <u><em>the atoms ,molecules, or compound present at the start of a chemical reaction that parcitipate in the reaction are the reactants.</em></u>
