Pretend you (80 kg) are making repairs on the outside of the International Space Station. You are floating 20 meters away from t

he space station when your safety rope comes loose. You throw your 10 kg tool-bag away from the space station in order to return to the station. If you are able to throw the bag at 5 m/s, how long does it take you to reach the station safely?

Answer:

32 seconds

Explanation:

m1 = 80 kg

m2 = 10 kg

v2 = 5m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, assuming that both you and the bag are stationary before the safety rope comes lose:

$m_{1} v_{1} =m_{2} v_{2} \\80v_{1} =10*5 \\v_{1} = 0.625\ m/s$

Since the space station is 20 meters away, the time taken to reach it is given by:

$t = \frac{20}{0.625}\\t=32\ s$

It takes you 32 seconds to reach the station.

Susan's 12.0 kg baby brother Paul sits on a mat. Susan pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30∘ above the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of Susan $m=12 kg$

Inclination $\theta =30^{\circ}$

Tension $T=29 N$

coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.18$

Resolving Forces Along x axis

$F_x=T\cos \theta -f_r$

where $f_r=friction\ Force$

$F_y=mg-N-T\sin \theta$

since there is no movement in Y direction therefore

$N=mg-T\sin \theta$

and $f_r=\mu N$

Thus $F_x=T\cos \theta -\mu N$

$F_x=29\cos (30)-\0.18\times (12\times 9.8-29\sin (30))$

$F_x=25.114-18.558$

$F_x=6.556 N$

Work done by applied Force is equal to change to kinetic Energy

$F_x\cdot x=\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_i^2$

$6.556\times 2.7=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12\times v_f^2$

$v_f^2=\frac{6.556\times 2.7\times 2}{12}$

$v_f^2=2.95$

$v_f=1.717 m/s$

Kyra and Pari are timing how long it takes for 1 g of sugar to dissolve in hot water. Kyra records a time of 24.3 seconds. Pari

Hoochie [10]

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>we can say that:-</h3>

A reading with more no of significant figures is considered to be more precise.
Kyra recorded a reading of 24.3 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.
Pari recorded a reading of 24 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.

<h3>hence we can say that kyra's reading has more significant figures nd so it is more precise.</h3>

Two marbles, one twice as heavy as the other, are dropped to the ground from the roof of a building. Just before hitting the gro

Andreyy89

Answer:

B. twice as much kinetic energy

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the first marble =2 m

the mass of the second marble = m

We know that velocity of particle does not depends on their mass that is the velocity of both mass will be same after dropping from the roof.

We know that kinetic energy of a mass is given as

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2$

Kinetic energy for heavier mass

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2m\times V^2$

Kinetic energy for light mass

$KE'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times V^2$

KE=2 KE '

Form above two equation we can say that ,the kinetic energy for the heavier mass is twice the lighter mass.

Therefore the answer will be B.
