A 91-kg astronaut and a 1300-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, givi
1 answer:
Answer:
18.2145 meters
Explanation:
Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:
m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:
The negative sign of this speed just indicates the direction the astronaut goes, which is the opposite direction of the satellite.
If the astronaut takes 7.5 seconds to come into contact with the shuttle, their initial distance is:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the hiker is
The time taken is
The vertical elevation after time T is
The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as
here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value
substituting values
Answer:
∆h = 0.071 m
Explanation:
I rename angle (θ) = angle(α)
First we are going to write two important equations to solve this problem :
Vy(t) and y(t)
We start by decomposing the speed in the direction ''y''
Vy in this problem will follow this equation =
where g is the gravity acceleration
This is equation (1)
For Y(t) :
We suppose yi = 0
This is equation (2)
We need the time in which Vy = 0 m/s so we use (1)
So in t = 0.675 s → Vy = 0. Now we calculate the y in which this happen using (2)
2.236 m is the maximum height from the shell (in which Vy=0 m/s)
Let's calculate now the height for t = 0.555 s
The height asked is
∆h = 2.236 m - 2.165 m = 0.071 m
