Answer: 0.55 m/s
Explanation:
This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the horizontal displacement of the pencil
is the pencil's initial velocity
since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling
is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground
is the initial height of the pencil
is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)
is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards
Begining with (1):

Finally:
Answer:
13.7m
Explanation:
Since there's no external force acting on the astronaut or the satellite, the momentum must be conserved before and after the push. Since both are at rest before, momentum is 0.
After the push

Where
is the mass of the astronaut,
is the mass of the satellite,
is the speed of the satellite. We can calculate the speed
of the astronaut:

So the astronaut has a opposite direction with the satellite motion, which is further away from the shuttle. Since it takes 7.5 s for the astronaut to make contact with the shuttle, the distance would be
d = vt = 1.83 * 7.5 = 13.7 m

Answer:
176,000 N
Explanation:
Newton's second law:
∑F = ma
F = (4 × 40,000 kg) (1.1 m/s²)
F = 176,000 N
