Answer:

p to the left

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum "total momentum of an isolated system remains constant".

we consider astronaut and astronaut drill as an isolated system. If the drill gain momentum p to the right so in order for momentum to remain constant the astronaut will gain the same momentum but in opposite direction i.e momentum p to the left.

Initial momentum = 0 ( before she throw astronaut belt)

Final momentum = p - p = 0 (After she throw astronaut belt)

Hence momentum of the system remains constant i.e zero.

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a particle of mass 1.41 gg be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward
Yuri [45]

Answer:

q = 2.067 \times 10^{-5}\ C

Explanation:

Given,

mass = 1.41 g = 0.00141 Kg

Electric field,E = 670 N/C.

We know,

Force in charge due to Electric field.

F = E q

And also we know

F = m g

Equating both the equation of motion

m g = E q

q =\dfrac{mg}{E}

q =\dfrac{0.00141 \times 9.81}{670}

q = 2.067 \times 10^{-5}\ C

Charge of the particle is equal to q = 2.067 \times 10^{-5}\ C

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can never be created or destroyed, only changed. true or faulse
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. For example, the carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.

Two particles with oppositely signed charges nC are placed at two of the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length 3
babymother [125]

The magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

<h3>Electric field at the third vertex of the triangle </h3>

The electric field at the third vertex of the equilateral triangle due to the other charges placed on the first and second vertices is calculated as follows;

E = E(13) + E(23)

E = (kq₁)/r² + (kq₂)/r²

where;

  • q1 is positive charge
  • q2 is negative charge

E =  (kq₁)/r² - (kq₂)/r²

E = 0

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.
