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.

Aray diagram is shown.<br> What does the letter red line represent?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Red line is reflected ray.

Explanation:

According to the given figure, the blue line represent the incident ray. It strikes the surface and reflection occurs. The dotted line shows normal.

After reflecting the surface, the ray of light is reflected. Red line shows the reflected light.

In this case, the laws of reflection follows i.e. the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

When you’re driving on the freeway it’s necessary to keep your foot on the accelerator to keep the car moving at a constant spee
aalyn [17]

When you’re driving on the freeway it’s necessary to keep your foot on the accelerator to keep the car moving at a constant speed. In this situation  the net force on the car is zero.

The rate of change of the velocity of a particle with respect to time is called its acceleration. If the velocity of the particle changes at a constant rate, then this rate is called the constant acceleration.

Since we are using metres and seconds as our basic units, we will measure acceleration in metres per second per second. This will be abbreviated as m/s². It is also commonly abbreviated as ms⁻².

For example, if the velocity of a particle moving in a straight line changes uniformly (at a constant rate of change) from 2 m/s to 5 m/s over one second, then its constant acceleration is 3 m/s².

Zero acceleration means constant velocity. Also to be noticed is that the definition of acceleration does not involve any information about forces. Acceleration is a kinematic quantity. Irrespective of what forces are acting, if the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero.

A ball is rolled at a velocity of 25 m/sec. after 13.5 seconds, it comes to a stop . What is the acceleration of the ball?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = -1.85 m/s² the acceleration is negative because it is coming to stop.

Explanation:

Data

vo = 25 m/s

t = 13.5 s

a= ?

vf = 0 m/s

Formula

vf = vo + at

solve for a

a = (vf - vo)/t

Substitution

a = (0 - 25) / 13.5

Simplification

a = -25/13.5

Result

a = -1.85 m/s²

What is the acceleration of an object with mass of 42.6 kg when an unbalanced force of 112 N is applied to it
lord [1]
The answer is 2.63m/s^2! You use the formula F=ma, 112 = 42.6(a), a= 2.63m/s^2.
