In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.

Skater begins to spend with arms held out at shoulder height. The skater wants to match the speed of the spin to the beat of the
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment

I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

Explanation:

The angular momentum is conserved if the external torques in the system are zero, this is achieved because the friction with the ice is very small,

           L₀ = L_f

           I₀ w₀ = I w

          w =\frac{I_o}{I} w₀

where we see that the angular velocity changes according to the relation of the angular moments, if we approximate the body as a cylinder with two point charges, weight of the arms

          I₀ = I_cylinder + 2 m r²

where r is the distance from the center of mass of the arms to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia of the cylinder does not change, therefore changing the distance of the arms changes the moment of inertia.

If we say that the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment will be

        I <I₀

        I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

therefore the angular velocity (rotations) must increase

in this way the skater can adjust his spin speed to the musician.

A body is thrown up with a velocity of 78.4 m per second.How high will it rise and how much time it will take to return to its p
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the body is 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is 8 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the body, u = 78.4 m/s

at maximum height (h) the final velocity of the body (v) = 0

The following equation is applied to determine the maximum height reached by the body;

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u²/2g

h = (78.4²) / (2 x 9.8)

h = 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is calculated as follows;

at maximum height, the final velocity becomes the initial velocity = 0

h = v + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

h =  ¹/₂gt²

2h = gt²

t² = 2h/g

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 313.6}{9.8} }\\\\t = 8 \ s

Question 33
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.

A balloon filled with helium gas has an average density of Q,-0.41 kg/m'. The density of the air is Qa-1.23 kg/m3. The volume of
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a) (Qa*g*Vb)-(Qh*Vb*g)=(Qh*Vb*a)\\where \\g=gravity [m/s^2]\\a=acceleration [m/s^2]

b) a = 19.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

The total mass of the balloon is:

massball=densityheli*volumeheli\\\\massball=0.41 [kg/m^3]*0.048[m^3]\\massball=0.01968[kg]\\\\

The buoyancy force acting on the balloon is:

Fb=densityair*gravity*volumeball\\Fb=1.23[kg/m^3]*9.81[m/s^2]*0.048[m^3]\\Fb=0.579[N]

Now we need to make a free body diagram where we can see the forces that are acting over the balloon and determinate the acceleration.

In the attached image we can see the free body diagram and the equation deducted by Newton's second law

A man wishes to row the shortest possible distance from north to south across a river which is flowing at 2 km/hr from the east.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

From the diagram we have that

sin\theta = \frac{2}{4}

\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{2})

\theta = 30\°

Therefore the direction is 30° from east of south
