A(n) 77.5 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 37.3 m away from the shuttle

and moving with zero speed relative to the shuttle. She has a(n) 0.94 kg camera in her hand and decides to get back to the shuttle by throwing the camera at a speed of 12 m/s in the direction away from the shuttle. How long will it take for her to reach the shuttle? Answer in minutes. Answer in units of min

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the astronaut can be found with the help of law of conservation of momentum .

mv = MV , M is mass of astronaut , m is mass of object thrown , v is velocity of object thrown and V is velocity of astronaut.

Putting the values

77.5 x V = .94 x 12

V = .14554 m /s

This will be the uniform velocity of astronaut.

Distance to be covered = 37.3 m

time taken = distance / velocity

= 37.3 / .14554

= 256.28 s

= 4.27 minutes.

All objects in the universe radiate some form of energy.<br> a. True<br> b. False

Harrizon [31]

That's true. The only way to stop an object from radiating energy
is to cool it to absolute zero. Since the temperature of space is
roughly 3 degrees above absolute zero, the atoms or molecules
of every object have some kinetic energy, and the object radiates
some heat.

Of course it also absorbs heat at the same time, mostly from the
huge number of stars shining on it.

A light string is wrapped around the outer rim of a solid uniform cylinder of diameter 75.0 cm that can rotate without friction

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:18.5 kg

Explanation:

Given

diameter $d=75 cm$

mass of stone $m=3 kg$

velocity of stone $v=3.4 m/s$

height fallen $h=2.40 m$

using

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(3.4)^2=2\times a\times 2.4$

$a=2.4 m/s^2$

Tension of string will Provide Torque to cylinder

$T\times r=I\times \alpha$

where $I=moment\ of\ inertia$

$\alpha =angular\ acceleration$

$T=\frac{Mr^2}{2}\times \frac{a}{r}$

$T=\frac{Ma}{2}$

and $mg-T=ma$

$mg-ma=T$

Put value of T

$mg-ma=\frac{Ma}{2}$

$mg=a(m+\frac{M}{2})$

$3\times 9.8=2.4\cdot (m+\frac{M}{2})$

$12.25=3+\frac{M}{2}$

$9.25=\frac{M}{2}$

$M=18.5 kg$

Fill in the term that completes the statement. The north and south poles of a magnetic field produced by an electromagnet will s

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

when the direction of the Current changes.

Explanation:

Electromagnet refers to an iron ore wrapped around with a coil of wire, in presence of electric current. As it acts like a magnet, when current is passed through it.

The north & south poles of magnetic fields produced by such magnet, change with direction of current passed through it.
