The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the st

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the system is in international space station

so here we can say that net force on the system is zero here

so Force by the astronaut on the space station = Force due to space station on boy

so here we know that

mass of boy = 70 kg

acceleration of boy = $1.50 m/s^2$

now we know that

$F = ma$

$F = 70(1.50) = 105 N$

now for the space station will be same as above force

$F = ma$

$105 = 1.8 \times 10^5 (a)$

$a = \frac{105}{1.8 \times 10^5}$

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

$2.1\times 10^{-12} c$

Explanation:

We are given that

Surface area of membrane= $5.3\times 10^{-9} m^2$

Thickness of membrane= $1.1\times 10^{-8} m$

Assume that membrane behave like a parallel plate capacitor.

Dielectric constant=5.9

Potential difference between surfaces=85.9 mV

We have to find the charge resides on the outer surface of membrane.

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor is given by

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

Substitute the values then we get

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor= $\frac{5.9\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}{1.1\times 10^{-8}}$

$C=0.25\times 10^{-12}F$

V= $85.9 mV=85.9\times 10^{-3}$

$Q=CV$

$Q=0.25\times 10^{-12}\times 85.9\times 10^{3}=2.1\times 10^{-12} c$

Hence, the charge resides on the outer surface= $2.1\times 10^{-12} c$

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/

Akimi4 [234]

The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20 cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Difference in height = 7.5 cm

Explanation:

We are given;.

Height of ethyl alcohol;h2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Density of glycerin: ρ1 = 1260 kg/m³

Density of ethyl alcohol; ρ2 = 790 kg/m³

To get the difference in height, the pressure at the top of the open end must be equal to the pressure at the point where the liquids do not mix since both points will be at different levels after the pouring.

Thus;

P1 = P2

Formula for pressure is; P = ρgh

Thus;

ρ1 × g × h1 = ρ2 × g × h2

g will cancel out to give;

ρ1 × h1 = ρ2× h2

Making h1 the subject, we have;

h1 = (ρ2× h2)/ρ1

h1 = (790 × 0.2)/1260

h1 = 0.125 m

Difference in height will be;

Δh = h2 - h1

Δh = 0.2 - 0.125

Δh = 0.075 m = 7.5 cm
