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.

In the Hydrogen atom, the energy spacing between the is 4.07 x 101 J (Joules). When an is the frequency of the photons emitted?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The frequency of the photon is 3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E=4.07\times10^{-19}\ J

We need to calculate the energy

Using relation of energy

E_{4}-E_{2}=\Delta E

Where, \Delta E =  energy spacing

4h\nu-2h\nu=4.07\times10^{-19}

\nu=\dfrac{4.07\times10^{-19}}{2h}

Put the value of h into the formula

\nu=\dfrac{4.07\times10^{-19}}{2\times6.63\times10^{-34}}

\nu=3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of the photon is 3.069\times10^{14}\ Hz.

A man starts walking from home and walks 2 miles at 20° north of west, then 4 miles at 10° west of south, then 3 miles at 15° no
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a)  R = 2.5 mi   b)  To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or θ = 98º

This is 8º north west

Explanation:

This is a distance exercise with vectors the best way to work these is to decompose the vectors and perform the sum on each axis separately

To use the Cartesian system all angles must be measured from the positive side of the x-axis or the signs of the components must be assigned manually depending on the quadrant where they are.

First vector A = 2 to 20º north west

Measured from the positive x axis is θ = 180 -20 = 160º

We use trigonometry to find the components

     Cos 20 = Aₓ / A

     sin 20 = A_{y} / A

    Aₓ = A cos 160 = 2 cos 160

    A_{y}  = A sin160 = 2 sin160

    Aₓ = -1,879 mi

    A_{y}  = 0.684 mi

Second vector B = 4 mi 10º west of the south

Angle θ = 270 - 10 = 260º

    cos 2600 = Bₓ / B

    sin 260 = B_{y} / B

    Bₓ = B cos 260

     B_{y}  = B sin 260

    Bₓ = 4 cos 260

     B_{y}  = 4 sin 260

     Bₓ = -0.6946mi

     B_{y}  = - 3,939 mi

Third vector C = 3 mi to 15 north east

     cos 15 = Cₓ / C

     sin15 = C_{y} / C

     Cₓ = C cos 15

     C_{y} = C sin15

     Cₓ = 3 cos 15

    C_{y} = 3 sin 15

     Cₓ = 2,898 mi

    C_{y} = 0.7765 mi

Now we can find the final position of the person

    X = Aₓ + Bₓ + Cₓ

    X = -1.879 -0.6949 + 2.898

    X = 0.3241 mi

    Y = A_{y} +  B_{y} + C_{y}

    Y = 0.684 - 3.939 +0.7765

    Y = -2.4785 mi

a) We use Pythagoras' theorem

     R = √ (x2 + y2)

     R = √ (0.3241 2 + (-2.4785) 2)

     R = 2.4996 mi

     R = 2.5 mi

b) let's use trigonometry

     Tan θ = y / x

     Tanθ  = -2.4785 / 0.3241

     θ = tan⁻¹ (-7,647)

     θ = -82

Measured from the positive side of the x axis is Te = 360 - 82 = 278º

(90-82) south east

To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or Te = 98º

This is 8º north west

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

8.9 g/cm^3

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

volume = length * width * height

volume = (8.4 cm)(5.5 cm)(4.6 cm)

volume = 212.52 cm^3

mass = 1896 g

density = (1896 g)/(212.52 cm^3)

density = 8.9 g/cm^3

the jet plane travels along the vertical parabolic path. when it is at point a it has speed of 200 m/s, which is increasing at t
givi [52]

Explanation:

Here is the complete question i guess. The jet plane travels along the vertical parabolic path defined by y = 0.4x². when it is at point A it has speed of 200 m/s, which is increasing at the rate .8 m/s^2. Determine the magnitude of acceleration of the plane when it is at point A.

→ The tangential component of acceleration is rate of increase in the speed of plane so,

a_{t} = v = 0.8 m/s^{2}

→ Now we have to find out the radius of curvature at point A which is 5 Km (from the figure).

dy/dx = d(0.4x²)/dx

         = 0.8x

Take the derivative again,

d²y/dx² = d(0.8x)/dx

          = 0.8

at x= 5 Km

dy/dx = 0.8(5)

         = 4

p = \frac{[1+ (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2} }   }{\frac{d^{2y} }{dx^{2} } }

now insert the values,

p = \frac{[1+(4)^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2} }  }{0.8}  = 87.62 km

→ Now the normal component of acceleration is given by

a_{n} = \frac{v^{2} }{p}

    = (200)²/(87.6×10³)

aₙ = 0.457 m/s²

→ Now the total acceleration is,

a = [(a_{t})^{2} +(a_{n} )^{2} ]^{0.5}

a = [(0.8)^{2} + (0.457)^{2}]^{0.5}

a = 0.921 m/s²
