Answer:
Since there is no external force, there is no change (movement) in the center of mass. Internally, the center of mass might change position, but the external result is still zero net velocity.
The net recoil velocity must be zero.
Answer:
Explanation:
The answer is in the picture
The actual answer is 165 miles, but using significant figure rules the answer is 200. This is because the sig fig rules are as follows ...
<span>1. Non-zero digits are always significant.
2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
<span>3. A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.
</span></span>
So the zeroes in a number like 20 or 23,000 are NOT significant. When you add numbers you must find the addend with the lowest amount of significant figures and round the answer to that. In this case most of the addends only have one sig fig, so you round 165 to 200 to make it only have one sig fig.
Answer:
<em>c. The astronaut does not need to worry: the charge will remain on the outside surface.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The astronaut need not worry because <em>according to Gauss's law of electrostatic, a hollow charged surface will have a net zero charge on the inside.</em> This is the case of a Gauss surface, and all the charges stay on the surface of the metal chamber. This same principle explains why passengers are safe from electrostatic charges, in an enclosed aircraft, high up in the atmosphere; all the charges stay on the surface of the aircraft.
