A 70-kg astronaut is space walking outside the space capsuleand is stationary when the tether line breaks. As a means of returni

ng to the capsule he throws his 2.0 kg space hammer at a speed of 14 m/s away from the capsule. At what speed does the astronaut move toward the capsule?

Answer:

0.4 m/s

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum tell us that the change in momentum of the hammer will be equal to the change in momentum of the astronaut

change in momentum of hammer = change in momentum of astronaut

2 kg (14 m/s - 0 m/s) = 70 kg * (v-0)

                                v  = 0.4 m/s

Answer:

The speed of the astronaut toward the capsule is v_{a}=0.4\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We have a system of two "particles" which are the astronaut and the hammer.

Initially, they are together and their relative velocities are zero, therefore <em>the initial linear momentum is zero</em>.

As <u>there are no external forces to this system</u>, the momentum is constant. This means that <em>the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum</em>:

0=p_{i}=p_{f}=m_{h}v_{h}-m_{a}v_{a}

<em>where the mass and velocity with h subscript corresponds to the hammer, and the ones with a subscript corresponds to the astronaut</em>.

Then, we clear the velocity of the astronaut, and calculate

m_{h}v_{h}-m_{a}v_{a}\Leftrightarrow v_{a}=\frac{m_{h}}{m_{a}}v_{h}\Leftrightarrow v_{a}=\frac{2kg}{70kg}*14\frac{m}{s}=0.4\frac{m}{s}

which is the speed of the astronaut toward the capsule.

if a charged plastic rod is brought near an uncharged metal rod on an insulating stand, an uncharged metal ball near the other e
Triss [41]

The phenomenon that is occurring is depicted in fig. Induction can be used to provide an explanation for this. As seen in Fig., when a negatively charged plastic rod is pushed close to a metal rod that is initially unaltered, the metal rod's left end picks up positive charges while the right end will pick up negative charges as a result of induction. when the empty metal ball is brought close to the metal rod's right end. The ball's near face subsequently develops a positive charge as a result of induction, and this positive charge attracts the rod since opposite charges are attracted to one another.

<h3>Define Induction?</h3>

Electromagnetic induction, often known as induction, is the technique of creating electrical current in a conductor by exposing the conductor to a fluctuating magnetic field. Because the magnetic field is thought to have induced the current in the conductor, it is known as induction.

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 33 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 175 V. An elec
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Which of the following is an example of how culture can help humans
serg [7]

A prime example of how culture has contributed to human survival is the development of agriculture, which helps feed enormous numbers of people. Option A is correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is culture?</h3>

A population's collective ways of life are known as culture. The manner of life for an entire society has been said about culture. It encompasses manners, rituals, and artistic standards.

The invention of farming helps feed large populations of humans and is an example of how culture can help humans survive.

Hence option A is correct.

To learn more about the culture refer to:
