An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. But she does have devices to m

easure distance and time accurately. She knows her own mass is 76.4 kg, but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. When this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s, she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s. What is the mass of the canister?

Answer:90.3 kg

Explanation:

Given

Mass of astronaut m=76.4 kg

Initial velocity of canister v_1=3.5 m/s

Final velocity of canister v_2=1.3 m/s

Final speed of Astronaut v_f=2.6 m/s

let M be the mass of canister

As there is no external force therefore we can conserve momentum

M\cdot v_1=mv_f+M\cdor v_2

M(3.5-1.3)=76.4\times 2.6

M=\frac{76.4\times 2.6}{2.2}

M=90.29\approx 90.3 kg

A wire of length 26.0 cm carrying a current of 5.77 mA is to be formed into a circular coil and placed in a uniform magnetic fie
Olin [163]

Answer:

The maximum torque is  \tau_{max} =  1.139 *10^{-7} \ N \cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The length of the wire is  l =  26.0 \ cm  =  0.26 \  m

     The current flowing through the wire is  I  = 5.77mA  =  5.77 *10^{-3} \ A

      The magnetic field is  B = 3.67 \ mT  =  3.67 *10^{-3 } T

         

The maximum torque is mathematically evaluated as

        \tau_{max} =   \mu B  

Where \mu  is the magnetic dipole moment which is mathematically represented as

        \mu  =  \frac{I l^2}{4 \pi n }

Where n is the number of turns which from the question is  1

    substituting values

       \mu  =  \frac{ 5.77 *10^{-3}  *  0.26^2}{4  * 3.142* 1 }

     \mu  =  3.10 4*  10^{-5}  A m^2

Now  

      \tau_{max} =  3.104 *10^{-5} * 3.67 *10^{-3}  

      \tau_{max} =  1.139 *10^{-7} \ N \cdot m

Gene therapy is a form of <br> .
stira [4]

Answer:

Gene therapy is an experimental form of treatment that uses gene transfer of genetic material into the cell of a patient to cure the disease. The idea is to modify the genetic information of the cell of the patient that is responsible for a disease, and then return that cell to normal conditions.

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top
solmaris [256]

Answer:

114.075 N

798.525 Nm

Explanation:

C = Drag coefficient = 0.5

ρ = Density of air = 1.2 kg/m³

A = Surface area = 9 m²

v = Velocity of wind = 6.5 m/s

r = Height of the tree = 7 m

Drag equation

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 0.5\times 9\times 6.5^2\\\Rightarrow F=114.075\ N

Magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy is 114.075 N

Toque is given by the product of force and radius

\tau=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau=114.075\times 7\\\Rightarrow \tau=798.525\ Nm

Torque exerted on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground is 798.525 Nm

A wire loop of radius 0.50 m lies so that an external magnetic field of magnitude 0.40 T is perpendicular to the loop. The field
vazorg [7]

The magnitude of the induced emf is given by:

ℰ = |Δφ/Δt|

ℰ = emf, Δφ = change in magnetic flux, Δt = elapsed time

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the loop, so the magnetic flux φ is given by:

φ = BA

B = magnetic field strength, A = loop area

The area of the loop A is given by:

A = πr²

r = loop radius

Make a substitution:

φ = B2πr²

Since the strength of the magnetic field is changing while the radius of the loop isn't changing, the change in magnetic flux Δφ is given by:

Δφ = ΔB2πr²

ΔB = change in magnetic field strength

Make another substitution:

ℰ = |ΔB2πr²/Δt|

Given values:

ΔB = 0.20T - 0.40T = -0.20T, r = 0.50m, Δt = 2.5s

Plug in and solve for ℰ:

ℰ = |(-0.20)(2π)(0.50)²/2.5|

ℰ = 0.13V
