An astronaut on the moon pushes with her left hand on a small rock and with her right hand on a large rock. Each hand pushes wit

h a force of 15 N. The small rock has mass 2 kg and the large rock has mass 8 kg. What forces do the rocks exert on the astronaut?
The small rock exerts a pushing force of 20 N; the large rock exerts a pushing force of 78 N.

The small rock exerts a pushing force of 3 N; the large rock exerts a pushing force of 12 N.

Each rock exerts a pushing force of 7.5 N.

Each rock exerts a pushing force of 15 N.

Answer:

<h2>Each rock exerts a pushing force of 15 N.</h2>

Explanation:

The clue here is that the astronaut pushes with a force of 15N.

To understand this better we need to recur to Newton's third law which states

For every action (force), there's an equal and opposite reaction.

So, we know that the astronaut pushed both rocks with 15N force. By Netwon's third law, both rocks exert a force of 15N back, because such reaction must be equal.

Therefore, the right answer is the last choice: <em>Each rock exerts a pushing force of 15 N.</em>

Vector ~A has a negative x-component 3.07 units in length and a positive y-component 3.17 units in length. When a vector ~B = b1
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

a. 3.07 b. 1.26

Explanation:

Given that A = -3.07i + 3.17j and B = b1i + b1j and C = A + B = 0i + 4.43j

Since A + B = -3.07i + 3.17j + b1i + b2j

= (-3.07 + b1)i + (3.17 + b2)j

So,(-3.07 + b1)i + (3.17 + b2)j = 0i + 4.43j

Comparing components,

-3.07 + b1 = 0 (1) and 3.17 + b2 = 4.43 (2)

a. From (1), b1 = 3.07

b. From(2) b2 = 4.43 - 3.17 = 1.26

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.

The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.

As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.

Hence, the correct options are first and second.

Earth’s polar ice caps contain about 2.3 × 1019 kg of ice. This mass contributes essentially nothing to the moment of inertia of
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass  2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg

Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²

For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law

I₁ ω₁  = I₂ ω₂  ,  ω₁ and   ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .

I₁ / I₂     =  ω₂ / ω₁

I₁ / I₂     =  T₁ / T₂  , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .

T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁

(2/5 M R² + 2/3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²

1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M

= 1 + 5 / 3  x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴

= 1 + .0000064

T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)

= 24 hours + .55 s

change in length of the day = .55 s .
