The object's speed will not change.

In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
$\sum F=ma$
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.

The volume of an object as a function of time is calculated by v = At3+B÷t where t is time measured in seconds and v is in cubic

Answer:

A = m³/s³ = [L]³/[T]³ = [L³T⁻³]

B = m³s = [L³T]

Explanation:

We have the equation:

V = At³ + B/t

where, the dimensions of each variable are as follows:

V = m³ = [L]³

t = s = [T]

substituting these in equation, we get:

m³ = A(s)³ + B/s

for the homogeneity of the equation:

A(s)³ = m³

Also,

B/s = m³

At the nose of a missile in flight, the pressure and temperature are 5.6 atm and 850°R, respectively. Calculate the density and

Contact [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

$1atm = 2116lb/ft^2$
