An astronaut has become detached from her spaceship. She's floating in space holding a wrench. She's 50 m from her current locat

ion. How does she get back to the spaceship?

Answer:

She throws the wrench in the opposite direction of her destination and the resulting backward force should be enough to get her back to the station.

gayle cooks a roast in her microwave oven. the klystron tube in the oven emits photons whose energy is 1.20 x 10^-3 ev. what are

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of the microwave oven is $1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV$ .

We need to find the wavelength of these photons.

$1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV=1.2\times 10^{-3}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\=1.92\times 10^{-22}\ J$

The energy of a wave is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}$

Put all the values,

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.92\times 10^{-22}}\\\\\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the wavelength of these photon is $1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m$ .

A body with the inertial

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi there,

To get started, recall the kinematic equations from either a textbook, equation sheet, etc. Kinematic equations are used when acceleration is <em>constant,</em> as stated in the prompt.

Best way to use kinematic equations is to see which variable you are looking for, then which variable is unknown to you and is not needed for that equation.

a) average velocity

Takes the form of:

$v_a_v_g=\frac{d_t_o_t_a_l}{t}=\frac{v+v_0}{2}$ this is the literal definition of average velocity; initial plus final divided by 2.

We know total displacement and total time elapsed, so we will use the middle form of the equation:

$v_a_v_g=\frac{1640m}{40s}=41 \ m/s$

b) the final velocity

We can still use the average velocity formula, as the other two equations that include final velocity have acceleration variable which is unknown as of now.

Solve for final velocity:

$v=(2v_a_v_g)-v_o = 2(41 \ m/s) - (8 m/s) = 74 m/s\\$ this makes sense, since a velocity later in time is higher than a velocity earlier in time. It is increasing with increasing time because of acceleration.

c) the acceleration

There are two equations that can be used to solve this, but we will use the less time-consuming one, but both produce same answer:

$a = \frac{v-v_0}{t_t_o_t_a_l} = \frac{(74-8)m/s}{40s} =1.65 m/s^{2}$

Notice, change in velocity over change in time, and acceleration is constant. When acceleration is constant, it models a linear function, and acc. is just slope!

Study well and persevere. If you liked this solution, hit Thanks or give a rating!

thanks,
