Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)..
From the ground to the highest point,
the rocket's AVERAGE speed is
(86 m) / (3.7 sec) = 23.2 m/s (rounded) .
Answer: A) because forces are what stop and start motion
Explanation:
From Newton's first law, an object tends to stay in state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. This is also known law of inertia. This is because a force can stop or start a motion. A force cause body to accelerate to decelerate otherwise the body continues with constant speed.
Answer:
0.2 m/s
Explanation:
given,
mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg
mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg
velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s
speed of astronaut, v' = ?
initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?
Using conservation of momentum
(M + m) V = M v' + m v
(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17
85 v' = -17
v' = -0.2 m/s
negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.
Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s

We know upthrust on iron = weight of mercury displaced
To balance, the weight of iron = weight of mercury displaced . So
ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g
ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₂ = density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of mercury displaced = ?
V₂ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₂ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/13.6 g/cm³ = 529.4 cm³
So, the height of iron above the mercury is h = V₂/area of base iron block
= 529.4 cm³/10² cm² = 5.294 cm ≅ 5.3 cm
ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g
ii
ρ₁V₁ = ρ₃V₃ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₃ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₃ = volume of water displaced = ?
V₃ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₃ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/1 g/cm³ = 7200 cm³
So, the height of column of water is h = V₃/area of base iron block
= 7200 cm³/10² cm² = 72 cm
Answer:
He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.
Explanation:
By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.
