Answer:

The recoil speed of Astronaut A is 0.26 m/s.            

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut A, m_A=110\ kg

Mass of astronaut B, m_B=74\ kg

Astronaut A pushes B away, with B attaining a final speed of 0.4, v_B=0.4\ m/s

We need to find the recoil speed of astronaut A. The momentum remains conserved here. Using the law of conservation of linear momentum as :

m_Av_A=m_Bv_B\\\\v_A=\dfrac{m_Bv_B}{m_A}\\\\v_A=\dfrac{74\times 0.4}{110}\\\\v_A=0.26\ m/s

So, the recoil speed of Astronaut A is 0.26 m/s.

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius r = 13.62 cm and mass 1.199 kg that is attached
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for time period of a pendulum is as follows

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

l is length of pendulum from centre of bob and g is acceleration due to gravity

Given

Time period T = 1.583

g = 9.846

Substituting the values

1.583 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.846} }

l = \frac{(1.583)^2\times9.846}{4\times(\frac{22}{7})^2 }

l = .6244 m

= 62.44 cm

Length of rod  = length of pendulum - radius of bob

= 62.44 - 13.62

= 48.82 cm

= .488 m
