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

To Mr. H's disgust, a 450-g black crow is raiding the recently-filled bird feeder. As Mr. H runs out the back door with his broo
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Actually it's 2.50 m/s, sorry

Explanation:

It is solved by using momentum conservation equation

combined mass of crow and feeder = 450+670=1120 gm

let the recoil speed of feeder be v m/s

Then applying momentum conservation we get;

1120×1.5 = 670×v

v= 2.50 m/s

the speed at which the feeder initially recoils backwards = 2.50 m/s

How are changes in energy and matter related
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

According to Einstein's famous equation, matter can convert into energy (and viceversa) as follows:

E=mc^2

where

E is the energy

m is the mass

c is the speed of light (3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

Given the huge value of c^2, we see that even a tiny amount of matter is able to release a huge amount of energy, when the whole mass is converted into energy. This is precisely what happens in nuclear reactions. For example, in the process of nuclear fusion (that occurs in the core of the stars), two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. The mass of the final nucleus is lower than the total mass of the initial nuclei, so part of the mass has been converted into energy according to the equation above: this is why the amount of energy produced by stars is so big.
