Answer:

The astronaut and the satellite are 53.718 m apart.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of spacewalking astronaut, = 88 kg

mass of satellite, = 645 kg

force exerts by the satellite, F = 110N

time for this action, t = 0.45 s

Determine the acceleration of the satellite after the push

F = ma

a = F / m

a = 110 / 645

a = 0.171 m/s²

Determine the final velocity of the satellite;

v = u + at

where;

u is the initial velocity of the satellite = 0

v = 0 + 0.171 x 0.45

v = 0.077 m/s

Determine the displacement of the satellite after 1.4 m

d₁ = vt

d₁ = 0.077 x (1.4 x 60)

d₁ = 6.468 m

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite;

Determine the backward acceleration of the astronaut after the push;

F = ma

a = F / m

a = 110 / 88

a = 1.25 m/s²

Determine the final velocity of the astronaut

v = u + at

The initial velocity of the astronaut = 0

v = 1.25 x 0.45

v = 0.5625 m/s

Determine the displacement of the astronaut after 1.4 min

d₂ = vt

d₂ = 0.5625 x (1.4 x 60)

d₂ = 47.25 m

Finally, determine the total separation between the astronaut and the satellite;

total separation = d₁ + d₂

total separation = 6.468 m + 47.25 m

total separation = 53.718 m

Therefore, the astronaut and the satellite are 53.718 m apart.

A police car waits in hiding slightly off the highway. A speeding car is spotted by the police car traveling at speed s = 27.6 m
andriy [413]

Answer:

t=\frac{2s}{a}=25.56s

Explanation:

The distance traveled by the speeding car will be d_s=st, where s=27.6m/s.

The distance traveled by the police car will be given by the formula:

d=v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}, where a=2.16m/s^2 and v_0=0m/s since it departs from rest, thus having d=\frac{at^2}{2}.

The police car will reach the speeding car when those distances are the same, or s=d, so we will have:

st=\frac{at^2}{2}

Which means:

t=\frac{2s}{a}

This is the expression asked, but we can use our values:

t=\frac{2s}{a}=\frac{2(27.6m/s)}{(2.16m/s^2)}=25.56s

(Equation 17.6) Write the equation for the path-length difference at a bright fringe (constructive interference). Define all var
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  d sin tea = m λ

Explanation:

When we have a two-slit system, the optical path difference determines whether the intensity reaching an observation screen is maximum or zero.

To find this difference in optical path, we assume that the screen is much farther than the gap is, we draw a perpendicular from ray 1 to the second ray

       OP = d sin θ

now to have constructive interference and see a bright line this leg must be an integer number of wavelengths, ose

            d sin tea = m λ

where

d             is the distance between the two slits

θ     complexion the angle sea the point hold it between the two slits

λ    the wavelength of the coherent light used

m   an integer, which counts the number of lines of interference

Units in the SI system

d, lam in meters

θ degrees

m an integer
