A(n) 71.1 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 70.2 m away from the shuttle

and moving with zero speed relative to the shuttle. She has a(n) 0.67 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:

10.347 minutes.

Explanation:

According to F = ma, she exerts force on camera of the magnitude

F = 0.67Kg*12m/s^{2} = 8.04N, assuming it took her one second to accelerate camera to 12m/s, then by newtons third law, which says every action has equal and opposite reaction , the camera exerts the same amount of force on the astronaut which gives her acceleration of a = \frac{8.04N}{70.2Kg} = 0.1130801680m/s^2.

and velocity of V = 0.1130801680m/s.

at this velocity , the astronaut has to cover the distance of 70.2 meters, it will take her 620.7985075s = 10.347 min to get to the shuttle (using S = vt).

(b) If you decrease the length of the pendulum by 25%, how does the new period TN compare to the old period T?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The new period will be reduced by 50%

Explanation:

The period of pendulum is given by;

T= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }\\\\\frac{T}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }\\\\(\frac{T}{2\pi} )^2 = {\frac{L}{g}}\\\\\frac{T^2}{4\pi ^2} = {\frac{L}{g}}\\\\T^2(\frac{g}{4\pi ^2}) = L\\\\ \frac{g}{4\pi ^2}= \frac{L}{T^2}\\\\\frac{L_1}{T_1^2} = \frac{L_2}{T_2^2}

When the length is decreased by 25%, the new length L₂ is given by;

L₂ = 25/100(L₁)

L₂ = 0.25L₁

\frac{L_1}{T_1^2} = \frac{L_2}{T_2^2}\\\\T_2^2 = \frac{T_1^2L_2}{L_1} \\\\T_N^2 = \frac{T^2(0.25L_1)}{L_1}\\\\ T_N^2 =0.25T^2\\\\T_N = \sqrt{0.25T^2}}\\\\T_N = 0.5 T

Thus, the new period will be reduced by 50%

Which of the following metals require ultraviolet light to exhibit the photoelectric effect?The options available: a. Cs, work f
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light starts at the end of the visible light spectrum, where violet light ends:

\lambda=380 nm =3.8\cdot 10^{-7}m (wavelength of lowest-energy ultraviolet light)

So, the lowest energy of ultraviolet light can be found by using the formula

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

Substituting,

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.8\cdot 10^{-7} m}=5.23\cdot 10^{-19}J

And keeping in mind that

1 eV = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}J

This energy converted into electronvolts is

E=\frac{5.23\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=3.27 eV

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the surface of the metal. Therefore, the metals that exhibit photoelectric effect are the ones whose work function is larger than the energy we found previously, so:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Because for all the other metals, visible light will be enough to extract photoelectrons.

A 50gk boy on a rough horizontal ground the coefficeint of static friction is 0.68
Soloha48 [4]

Given that,

Mass of a boy = 50 kg

The coefficient of static friction = 0.68

To find,

Let us assume we need to find the maximum static friction between the boy and the ground.

Solution,

The formula for the maximum static friction between the two objects is given by :

F=\mu N

Where

N is normal force

Substitute all the values,

F=0.68\times 50\times 10\\\\F=340\ N

Therefore, the maximum static friction between the boy and the ground is 340 N.

If the reading of a linear scale is 4 mm and no of division of the circular scale is 50, then what will be the diameter of the w
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Diameter of Wire = 4.5 mm

Explanation:

First, we need to find the fractional part of the reading. The fractional part o the reading can be given by the following formula:

Fractional Part = Circular Scale Reading x Least Count

where,

Circular Scale Reading = 50

Least Count = 0.01 mm

Therefore,

Fractional Part = (50)(0.01 mm)

Fractional Part = 0.5 mm

Now, the diameter of the wire can be given by using the following formula:

Diameter of Wire = Linear Scale Reading + Fractional Part

Diameter of Wire = 4 mm + 0.5 mm

<u>Diameter of Wire = 4.5 mm</u>
