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.

3. The soccer kicker kicks a 2 kg football with a force of 68 N. How fast will the ball accelerate down the field?
Katen [24]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf m= 2 \ kg , \\a= 34 \ m/s^2,  \\\F= 68 \ N}}

Explanation:

The formula for force is:

F=m*a

If we rearrange the formula to solve for a (acceleration), the formula becomes

\frac{F}{m} =a

The force is 68 Newtons. Let's convert the units to make the problem easier later on. 1 N is equal to 1 kg*m/s², so the force of 68 N is equal to 68 kg*m/s².

The mass is 2 kilograms.

F=68 \ kg*m/s^2 \\m= 2\ kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

\frac{68 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg} =a

Divide. Note that the kilograms will cancel each other out (hence why we changed the units).

\frac{68 \ m/s^2}{2}=a

34 \ m/s^2=a

The acceleration is<u> </u><u>34 meters per second squared.</u>

The diagram does not represent a real electric field because the field lines, can someone help explain this for me
Papessa [141]

electric field lines are graphical presentation of electric field intensity

It is the graphical way to represent the electric field variation

If we draw the tangent to electric field line then it will give the direction of net electric field at that point

So whenever we draw the electric field lines of a charge distribution then it will always follow this basic properties

here we will always follow these basic properties of field lines

now as we can see that here two positive charges are placed nearby so the electric field must be like it can not intersect at any point because at intersection of two lines the direction of electric field not defined

As we have two directions of tangents at that point

So here the incorrect presentation is the intersection of two field lines which is not possible

Can someone explain which of Newton’s Law is demonstrated in part 1 and which is demonstrated in part 2? (Picture)
rewona [7]

Answer:

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If the student doesn't push, nothing moves, is one student pushes, both move which is an example of newtons third law.

One gram of Uranium averages release 1.01 KJ (10^7) of energy. How much mass could be converted to energy to release this much e
frutty [35]

Answer:

The amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10^{-7}  kg

Explanation:

From Albert Einstein's Energy equation, we can understand that mass can get converted to energy, using the formula

E= \Delta mc^{2}

where \Delta m = change in mass

c = speed of light = 3 \times 10 ^{8}m/s

Making m the subject of the formula, we can find the change in mass to be

\Delta m = \frac{E}{c^{2}}= \frac{1.01 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{7}}{(3 \times 10^{8})^{2}}= 1.122 \times 10 ^{-7}kg

There fore, the amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10 ^-7 kg
