Answer:

   a = 1,375 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law where the force applied by the astronaut is F = 48.1, the body weight is W = 41.5 N and the body mass is m = 4.80 kg

              F - W = m a

              a = (F -W) / m

let's calculate

              a = (48.1 - 41.5) / 4.80

              a = 1,375 m / s²

this acceleration is directed upwards

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

Fofino [41]
<h2>Power is 11 W</h2>

Explanation:

Power = Work ÷ Time

Work = Force x Displacement

Force = 22 N

Displacement = 3 m

Time = 6 seconds

Substituting

       Work = Force x Displacement

       Work = 22 x 3 = 66 J

       Power = Work ÷ Time

       Power = 66 ÷ 6

       Power = 11 W

Power is 11 W

Which object will move faster?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

depends on how big the car is and what force is moving them.

Explanation:

the 3lb box will go slower because it is the lightest. the 10lb box is the 2nd slowest. the car will be smaller than the 18 wheeler on the road. but it has less cargo so it will probably go faster. if you are dropping it, then the 18 wheeler will go faster. but if you are seeing if it will go faster on the ground, the car will because it has less cargo or wheels to weigh it down.

Increasing the speed of your vehicle influences the risk of being involved in a traffic collision because it _________.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

When you're driving and you increase the speed of your car, it influences the chances of being involved in a traffic collision because it reduces the amount of time to adjust before a collision happens, and increasing the speed also contribute to the intensity of collision. Hence, making it difficult for anyone to survive.
