You are sitting on a deck of your house surrounded by oak trees. You hear the sound of an acorn hitting the deck. You wonder if

an acorn will do much damage if instead of the deck it hits your head. Let the mass of the acorn be 3.5 g. Suppose it drops from a height of 14 m (relative to your head). Assume that the acorn sinks in 0.50 cm of your head skin before coming to a stop.

Answer: 96N

Explanation:

To calculate the velocity of the impact On the persons head, we have

h = gt²/2

14 = 9.81t²/2

t² = 28/9.8

t² = 2.86

t = 1.69s

V = u + at

V = 0 + 9.81*1.69

V = 16.58m/s

a(average) = (v1² + v2²) /2Δy

a(average) = 16.58² + 0)/2 * 0.005

a(average) = 274.8964/0.01

a(average) = 27489.64m/s²

Using newton's second law of motion,

F(average) = m * a(average)

F(average) = 0.0035 * 27489.64

F(average) = 96.21N

Therefore the force needed by the acorn to do much damage starts from 96N

A 91-kg astronaut and a 1300-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, givi
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

18.2145 meters

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:

0 + 0 = 91*v1' + 1300*0.17

v1' = -1300*0.17/91 = -2.4286\ m/s

The negative sign of this speed just indicates the direction the astronaut goes, which is the opposite direction of the satellite.

If the astronaut takes 7.5 seconds to come into contact with the shuttle, their initial distance is:

distance = 2.4286 * 7.5 = 18.2145\ meters

In your own words tell me about the live cycle of a star (4-5 sentences)
balu736 [363]

Answer: Stars are formed in clouds of gas and dust, known as nebulae. Nuclear reactions at the centre (or core) of stars provides enough energy to make them shine brightly for many years. The exact lifetime of a star depends very much on its size.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

9.3\cdot 10^{37}

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy produced (E) per unit of time (t):

P= \frac{E}{t}

This means that the energy produced in the Sun each second (1 s), given the power P=4.0\cdot 10^{26}W, is

E=Pt=(4.0\cdot 10^{26}W)(1s )=4.0\cdot 10^{26} J

Each p-p chain reaction produces an amount of energy of

E_1 = 4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J

in order to get the total number of p-p chain reactions per second, we need to divide the total energy produced per second by the energy produced by each reaction:

n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{4.0\cdot 10^{26} J}{4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J}=9.3\cdot 10^{37}
