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

now has a momentum of p to the right and she has a momentum of _____ to the left.

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.

Answer:

The larger resistance value is 144 ohms and the smaller resistance value is 48 ohms.

Explanation:

Given that Resistance, R, is inversely proportional to Power, the largest value of power will yield the smallest value of resistance and vice versa.

The largest value of resistance will be:

P = V²/R

R = V²/P

R = 120²/100

R = 144 ohms

The smallest value of resistance will be:

R = 120²/300

R = 48 ohms

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

its speed is insignificant before the diver's speed change, so the result does not change

Explanation:

In this exercise of conservation of the momentum, the system is formed by the diver and the Earth

initial instant (before jumping)

       p₀ = 0

final instant (after jumping)

      p_{f} = m v + M v²

how momentum is conserved

        p₀ = p_{f}

        0 = m v + M v²

         v² = m / M v

since the mass of the Earth is M = 10²⁴ kg

   its speed is insignificant before the diver's speed change, so the result does not change

3) Find the missing parts of the triangle (angle and/or sides).<br>​
oee [108]

Answer:

44.4°

Explanation:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

You're given an unknown angle, the adjacent side to that angle, and the hypotenuse.  So use cosine.

Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos A = 10 / 14

A = cos⁻¹(5/7)

A ≈ 44.4°

How is Newton’s third law of motion involved when you jump straight upward?
Bad White [126]
<span>Newtons 3rd law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. How it applies in this statement is that when you jump straight upward you hit the floor and you experience an equal magnitude of force against your feet, because force always acts as a result of two objects and whenever forces occur they do so in pairs of equal magnitude acting in opposite directions. I hope this helps!</span><span>
