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.

Eva8 [605]

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.

adoni [48]

Question

What was the initial momentum of the bullet before collision?

Answer:

10 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a product of velocity of an object in m/s and its mass in kgs hence numerically expressed as p=mv where p is momentum, v is velocity and m is mass. Substituting m for 0.2 kg and v for 50 m/s then p=0.2*50=10 kg.m/s

Raising the temperature of a gas will increase its pressure to<br> volume of the gas would do what
joja [24]

Answer: Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

Explanation: In the 1600s, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

At a certain instant, the earth, the moon, and a stationary 1160 kg spacecraft lie at the vertices of an equilateral triangle wh
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

W = 1.22 \times 10^9 J

Explanation:

Initial potential energy of the given spacecraft is given as

U = -\frac{GM_e m}{r} - \frac{GM_m m}{r}

so we have

U = - \frac{Gm}{r}(M_e + M_m)

so we have

M_e = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

M_m = 7.35 \times 10^{22} kg

m = 1160 kg

r = 3.84 \times 10^8 m

U = - \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1160)}{3.84 \times 10^8}(5.98 \times 10^{24} + 7.35 \times 10^{22})

U = -1.22 \times 10^9 J

now total work done to move it to infinite is given

W = 0 - U

W = 1.22 \times 10^9 J
