An astronaut is drifting away from his spaceship. how can he return, using an aerosol spray?

1 answer:

6 0

The astronaut should shoot the aerosol spray in the opposite direction of where the astronaut is going to return back to the spaceship. This is in accordance to Newton’s Thrid Law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Hope this helps you out!

Detailed Explanation:

1) Rusting of Iron

4Fe + 3O2 + 2H2O -> 2Fe2O32H2O

Reactants :-
Fe = 4
O = 3 * 2 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4

Products :-
Fe = 2 * 2 = 4
O = 2 * 3 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4

2) Fermentation of sucrose…

C12H22O11 + H2O -> 4C2H5OH + 4CO2

Reactants :-
C = 12
H = 22 + 2 = 24
O = 11 + 1 = 12

Products :-
C = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12
H = 4 * 5 + 4 = 24
O = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12

Looking closely at the way I have taken the total number of elements on the reactants and products side, you can solve the rest.

All the Best!

An electron is placed on a line connecting two fixed point charges of equal charge but the opposite sign. The distance between t

viktelen [127]

Answer:

a) F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2}$ ), b) x = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a) In this problem we use that the electric force is a vector, that charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

F = $k \frac{q_2q_2}{r^2}$

Since when we have the two negative charges they repel each other and when we fear one negative and the other positive attract each other, the forces point towards the same side, which is why they must be added.

F_net= ∑ F = F₁ + F₂

let's locate a reference system in the load that is on the left side, the distances are

left side - electron r₁ = x

right side -electron r₂ = d-x

let's call the charge of the electron (q) and the fixed charge that has equal magnitude Q

we substitute

F_net = k q Q ( $\frac{1}{r_1^2}+ \frac{1}{r_2^2}$ )

F _net = kqQ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(d-x)^2}$ )

let's substitute the values

F_net = 9 10⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.50 10⁻⁹ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.30-x)^2}$ )

F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2}$ )

now we can substitute the value of x from 0.05 m to 0.25 m, the easiest way to do this is in a spreadsheet, in the table the values of the distance (x) and the net force are given

x (m) F (N)

0.05 27.0 10-16

0.10 8.10 10-16

0.15 5.76 10-16

0.20 8.10 10-16

0.25 27.0 10-16

b) in the adjoint we can see a graph of the force against the distance, it can be seen that it has the shape of a parabola with a minimum close to x = 0.15 m

Use the five rules to determine the validity of this categorical syllogism:

Novay_Z [31]

Question:

The five rules are;

"The middle term must be distributed in at least one premise.

If a major or minor term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premises.

No syllogism can have two negative premises.

If either premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative.

No syllogism with a particular conclusion can have two universal premises."

Answer:

The categorical syllogism is invalid as it does not meet thr requirements of rule 2

Invalid because it breaks rule #2.

Explanation:

An argument whose conclusion is implied based on the logical stipulation of the premise is a deductive argument

A syllogism is a deductive argument that makes use of deductive reasoning to come to conclusion, considering a number of of two or more premises which are taken to be true.

For categorical syllogism, we have

If A is in C, then B is in C

Based on the five rules, we have

1. The middle term must be distributed at least once

Here, the middle term is all neutron stars are extremely dense hence i says something about all items in a category, therefore it is distributed

2. If a term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premise.

Here, the distributed term in the conclusion are "extremely dense objects" is not distributed in the premise, therefore the categorical syllogism is invalid.

"In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the separation between slits is d and the screen is a distance D from the slits. D is much

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is, $x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

Explanation:

If d is the separation between slits, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light. Let x is the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is given by :

$x=\dfrac{n\lambda D}{d}$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

n is the order

If n = 1,

$x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

So, the the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is $\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$ . Hence, the correct option is (B).
