A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron

aut turns away to look at Earth and several seconds later is 38.1 m behind the ship, at rest relative to the spaceship. The only way to return to the ship without a thruster is to throw a wrench directly away from the ship. The wrench has a mass of 0.570 kg, and the astronaut throws the wrench with a speed of 22.4 m/s. How long does it take the astronaut to reach the ship?

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

m_2 = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

v_1 = Velocity of astronaut

v_2 = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds

A rower in a boat pushes the water using an oar.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

It's B, because of process of elimination:

A: The rower would be applying force to the oar not the other way around. So that's immediately out.

C: If the force of the oar applies to the water, the force of the water cannot apply to the oar.

D: Same as why A is incorrect.

So B is the only one left.

the four forces shown have the same strength. which force would be most effective in opening the door?
Umnica [9.8K]
Hey There! According to science, if the same forces are applied, than the door will not move due to similar strength. So, regardless the door won't move. Have A Brainly Day!

A dog pulls on a leash with a force of 15 23 is a big dog. The leash makes an angle of 36.7 degrees to the horizontal. What are
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x = 12.027N and y = 8.964N

Explanation:

The first sentence of this question is not explanatory enough. However, I'll assume the force to be 15N

Force = 15N

\theta = 36.7 to the horizontal

Required

Solve for the x and y components

Since the given angle is to the horizontal, the x and y coordinates are calculated using the following illustrations.

Sin\theta = \frac{y}{Force} ---- y component

Cos\theta = \frac{x}{Force} ---- x component

Calculating the y component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for \theta

Sin\theta = \frac{y}{Force} becomes

Sin(36.7) = \frac{y}{15}

Make y the subject

y = 15 * Sin(36.7)

y = 15 * 0.5976

y = 8.964N

Calculating the x component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for \theta

Cos\theta = \frac{x}{Force} becomes

Cos(36.7) = \frac{x}{15}

Make y the subject

x = 15 * Cos(36.7)

x = 15 * 0.8018

x = 12.027N

<em>Hence, the x and y components of the force are: 8.964N and 12.027N respectively.</em>
