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!

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

27 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 15 m/s

a = 3 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (3 m/s²) (4 s) + (15 m/s)

v = 27 m/s

The suspended ash made for some some spectacular sunsets! Sulfuric acid was spread worldwide, increasing acidity of rain. Ash deflected energy from the sun, causing a slight drop on global temps for a few years.

Answer:

<h2>C. <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u></h2>

Explanation:

Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.

Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)

BEFORE COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s

AFTER COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s

<u>x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball</u>

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =

0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s

Using the law of conservation of momentum;

0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125

0.25x = 0.25-0.1125

0.25x = 0.1375

x = 0.1375/0.25

x = 0.55m/s

Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u>

<u></u>
