An astronaut in his space suit and with a propulsion unit (empty of its gas propellant) strapped to his back has a mass of 146 k

g. The astronaut begins a space walk at rest, with a completely filled propulsion unit. During the space walk, the unit ejects some gas with a velocity of +35 m/s. As a result, the astronaut recoils with a velocity of -0.39 m/s. After the gas is ejected, the mass of the astronaut (now wearing a partially empty propulsion unit) is 165 kg. What percentage of the gas propellant was ejected from the completely filled propulsion unit?

Answer: 9.5%

Explanation:

% deplected= Meject ÷ (Meject+Mleft) ×100%

Mleft=(165 - 146)kg = 19kg

% depleted = 2.0/(2.0 + 19) ×100=9.5%

A brick of mass 2.0kg is at rest. It falls to the ground through a
Lisa [10]

Answer:

I may not have the answer so i'll just give up some hints.

Multiply the time by the acceleration due to gravity to find the velocity when the object hits the ground. If it takes 9.9 seconds for the object to hit the ground, its velocity is (1.01 s)*(9.8 m/s^2), or 9.9 m/s. Choose how long the object is falling. In this example, we will use the time of 8 seconds. Calculate the final free fall speed (just before hitting the ground) with the formula v = v₀ + gt = 0 + 9.80665 * 8 = 78.45 m/s . Find the free fall distance using the equation s = (1/2)gt² = 0.5 * 9.80665 * 8² = 313.8 m .h = 0.5 * 9.8 * (1.5)^2 = 11m. b. V = gt = 9.8 * 1.5 = 14.7m/s. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly. If a feather and a brick were dropped together in a vacuum—that is, an area from which all air has been removed—they would fall at the same rate, and hit the ground at the same time.When an object's point is taller the thing that is going down it will go faster than when the point is lower. EXAMPLE: The object is the tennis ball if you drop it down the higher hill it will be faster than if you drop it down a shorter hill. In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.

I hope my little bit (big you may say) hint help you with your question.

An object is placed on a surface. A student tries to apply various combinations of forces on the object. Which pair of forces wi
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as there are no diagrams or options to provide more information to the question.

The general explanation is as follows:

For the object not to move

(1): The forces acting on the object must opposite each other. i.e. if force A acts at the right (or positive direction), force B will act at the left (or negative direction).

(2) The two forces must be equal.

So, for instance:

If the pair of forces are 5N and 5N in opposite directions, the object wil not move.

However, if one of the forces is greater, the object will move towards the direction of the greater force.

Indicate the result of each of the following unit vector cross products (unit vector hat-symbols not shown): . kxi = . jxi= -jxk
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cross product of two vectors is given by

\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |Sin\theta \widehat{n}

Where, θ be the angle between the two vectors and \widehat{n} be the unit vector along the direction of cross product of two vectors.

Here, K x i = - j

As K is the unit vector along Z axis, i is the unit vector along X axis and j be the unit vector along  axis.

The direction of cross product of two vectors is given by the right hand palm rule.

So, k x i = j

j x i = - k

- j x k = - i

i x i = 0
