The matter from the explosion can reach him, hitting him. He should be able to feel that.

Answer:

The particles from the explosion will hit him, create holes in his space suit, and can also hurt him. By feeling all these things, he will know about the explosion.

Explanation:

Explosion happened behind him so, he wouldn’t be able to see it. Moreover, Sound needs a medium to travel but, in space there is no medium. So, we would not able to listen the sound of explosion. Hence, he will feel the explosion when particles from explosion will hit him and hurt him.

How can Magnets cause objects to have kinetic energy?
lianna [129]

Answer:

If there is a system of magnets being held in place, there is potential energy. When you let go, the potential energy converts to kinetic energy and the magnets move. Putting the system of magnets close together which creates an opposing force.

A parallel plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

C) Both the charge on the plates of the capacitor and its capacitance would change.

Explanation:

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor without dielectric material is given as;

C = \epsilon_o\frac{A}{d}

A parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric between its plates has a capacitance given by;

C = K \epsilon_o\frac{A}{d}

where;

C is the capacitance

K is the dielectric constant

ε₀ is permittivity of free space

A is the area of the plates

d is the distance of separation of the two plates

  • first point to note, is that the capacitance increases when dielectric material is inserted by a factor 'k'

Again, Q = CV    (without dielectric material)

Q = C_KV   (with dielectric material)

  • second point to note, is that charge stored in the plates increases due to presence of dielectric material.

Finally, we can conclude that both the charge on the plates of the capacitor and its capacitance would change.

The sides of a square baseball diamond are 90 feet long. When a player who is between second and third base is 60 feet from seco
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

d(L)/dt  =  6,96 ft/s

Explanation:

We have a right triangle where the hypotenuse (L) is the distance between the player and home plate, the legs are the line between third base and home plate ( 90 feet ) and distance between the player and third base (x)  (over the line between second and third base). So we can write

L²  =  (90)²  +  x²

Applying differentiation in relation to time, on both sides of the equation we have:

2*LdL/dt  =  0  + 2*x d(x)/dt     (2)

In this equation we know:

d(x)/ dt  =  22 feet/sec

x = 30 ft

We need to calculate  L when the player is at 30 feet from third base

Then

L²  =  (90)² + (30)²

L²  =  8100 + 900

L  = √9000

L =94,87 feet

Then we are in condition for calculate  d(L)/dt from the equation

2*Ld(L)/dt  =  0  + 2*x d(x)/dt  

2*94,87 * d(L)/dt  =  2* 30* 22     ⇒  189,74 d(L)/dt = 1320

d(L)/dt  =  1320/ 189,74

d(L)/dt  =  6,96 ft/s

Net force and direction answer
Contact [7]

Answer:

7. Net force: 14 N

Direction: Right

8. Net force: 360 N

Direction: Right

Explanation:

For Nm 7 the most force is on the right side so it has more power then left side and so its gonna pull towards the right side cancelling the force on the left. So it becomes 26-12 N = 14N

For Nm 8 all the force is on the right side so they add up.
