A 91-kg astronaut and a 1300-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, givi

ng it a speed of 0.17 m/s directly away from the shuttle. Seven-and-a-half seconds later the astronaut comes into contact with the shuttle.
Required:
What was the initial distance from the shuttle to the astronaut?

Answer:

18.2145 meters

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

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:

0 + 0 = 91*v1' + 1300*0.17

v1' = -1300*0.17/91 = -2.4286\ m/s

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:

distance = 2.4286 * 7.5 = 18.2145\ meters

A car drives at steady speed around a perfectly circular track.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.

Explanation:

If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.

As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.

In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.

The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.

It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.

A runner is moving at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s around a circular track. If the distance from the runner to the center of the
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: Last option

2.27 m/s2

Explanation:

As the runner is running at a constant speed then the only acceleration present in the movement is the centripetal acceleration.

If we call a_c to the centripetal acceleration then, by definition

a_c =w^2r = \frac{v^2}{r}

in this case we know the speed of the runner

v =8.00\ m/s

The radius "r" will be the distance from the runner to the center of the track

r = 28.2\ m

a_c = \frac{8^2}{28.2}\ m/s^2

a_c = 2.27\ m/s^2

The answer is the last option

What are some changes that can be caused. By sound energy
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Hearing loss due to sound energy damaging the nerve cells in the inner ear. Many animals behavior is influenced by sound energy. They learn to associate events with sounds, so they run when something crunches in the dry grass (might be a coyote), but won't be bothered by the sound of a waterfall. Mood is affected by sound energy. A wine glass can break with sound energy, if the frequency matches the resonant frequency of the wine glass and the amplitude is great enough (one Mythbusters show featured a professional singer who broke a wine glass with his voice without any amplification).

Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate.

Unlike sound electromagnetic waves can travel trough empty space

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Moving a unit "positive" test charge from A to B will result in a reduction in potential

V = K Q / R      potential at a point

V2 - V1 = K Q (1 / .4 - 1 / .15) = = k Q (.15 - .4) / .06 = -4.17 K Q

V2 - V1 = -4.17 * 9 & 10E9 * 6.25 E-8

V2 - V1 = -4.17 * 562.5 J/C

V = - 2346 Volts
