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 circular loop of wire of area 10 cm^2 carries a current of 25 A. At a particular instant, the loop lies in the xy-plane and is
S_A_V [24]

The magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is  0.025 Am².

The magnetic torque on the loop is 2.5 x 10⁻⁴  Nm.

<h3>What is magnetic dipole moment?</h3>

The magnetic dipole moment of an object, is the measure of the object's tendency to align with a magnetic field.

Mathematically, magnetic dipole moment is given as;

μ = NIA

where;

  • N is number of turns of the loop
  • A is the area of the loop
  • I is the current flowing in the loop

μ = (1) x (25 A) x (0.001 m²)

μ = 0.025 Am²

The magnetic torque on the loop is calculated as follows;

τ = μB

where;

  • B is magnetic field strength

B = √(0.002² + 0.006² + 0.008²)

B = 0.01 T

τ = μB

τ =  0.025 Am² x 0.01 T

τ = 2.5 x 10⁻⁴  Nm

Thus, the magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is determined from the current and area of the loop while the magnetic torque on the loop is determined from the magnetic dipole moment.

In which space, outdoors or in your classroom, would it be easier to hear a musician? Explain
bixtya [17]

Answer:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom than outdoors

Explanation:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom due to the improved acoustics provided by the walls of the classroom whereby along with the direct sound of the musician, which is the lead source of the sounds, there is an increased number of indirect sound reaching the ear in the classroom than outdoors and due to precedence effect, all the sound appear to come from the musician

In music played outside, along side the direct sound from the musician, the indirect sound that reach the ear is echoed from maybe by only the ground while the majority of the sound from the music wanders away with the wind and in other directions as well as being absorbed such that speakers will be required to improve the sound of the music outdoors.

How would the absence of gravity affect the formation of planets?
Doss [256]

Answer : The rocks and debris would never accrete into a planet.

Explanation : Gravity is an attraction force and dependents on the mass of the objects but in the absence of the force the rocks and debris would not come together to form a clump.

So,  we can say that in the absence of gravity, the rock and debris would never accrete into a planet.
