here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.
So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree
Now in order to find the value we can say that
so it is inclined at above angle with X axis in fourth quadrant
Now if angle is to be measured counterclockwise then its magnitude will be
so the correct answer will be 305 degree
Answer:
a) m = 69.0 kg
b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement
Explanation:
a) Let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
m = F / a
m = 60.0 / 0.870
m = 69.0 kg
b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved
p₀ = p_f
m v = M v '
v ’=
so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.
One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
