A 60.7 kg astronaut is floating in space. She takes her 3.1 kg astronaut drill from her toolbelt and throws it to the right. It

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.

An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 Hz . It is unknown whether harmonics belo
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The successive harmonics are;  700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 H

Now, for a closed pipe,

length of pipe (L) = λ/4

Harmonics; 1x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 9x, 11x

1100Hz - 900Hz = 200Hz

⇒ 2x = 200Hz

x = 100Hz ( fundamental frequency )

λ = V/f = 340 /100 = 3.4 m

Now

Length L = λ / 4

L = 3.4 / 4

L = 0.85 m or 85 cm

Therefore, the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm

A man on the moon throws a ball vertically upwards and it is noticed that the ball travels 3.0m less in the fifth second of its
sdas [7]
<h2>Acceleration due to gravity in moon is 1.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Here the ball travels 3 m less distance in fifth second compared to third second.

That is

           s₃ = s₅ + 3

Now we have

Distance traveled in third second, s₃ = u x 3 - 0.5 x g x 3² -  u x 2 - 0.5 x g x 2²

           s₃ = u - 2.5 g

Also

Distance traveled in fifth second, s₅ = u x 5 - 0.5 x g x 5² -  u x 4 - 0.5 x g x 4²

           s₅ = u - 4.5 g    

That is

           u - 2.5 g = u - 4.5 g + 3

             2 g = 3

                g = 1.5 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity in moon = 1.5 m/s²

An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. Howeve
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v=0.9833\ c

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side,  b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 kg/m^3

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184=  \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033=  1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

v=0.9833\ c

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).
