In a science fiction movie, a lone astronaut with a mass of 75 kg is stranded outside their spaceship with a thruster pack that

is not working. They are stationary relative to their ship. In order to get themselves moving they throw a 2.3 kg wrench at 15 m/s in the opposite direction of the ship.A. Draw before and after pictures for the astronaut and the wrench labeling masses and velocities.B. What is the speed of the astronaut after they throw the wrench?C. If it takes them 0.12s to stop when they run into the ship, what is the impulse, average force and average acceleration they experience?

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum will be conserved .

M₁ V₁ =M₂V₂

2.3 x 15 = 75 x V

V = .46 m/s

velocity of astronaut will be 0.46 m/s after the throw of wrench .

Impulse = change in momentum

= 75 x .46 - 0

= 34.5 kg m/s

Impulse = force x time

34.5 = force x .12

force = 34.5 / .12

= 287.5 N

average acceleration

= force / mass

= 287.5 / 75

= 3.83 m /s²

Resistors Working Together.

Resistors are shown coupled in parallel to a voltage source in Figure 10.3.4. When all of the resistors' ends are connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance and their other ends are also connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance, the resistors are said to be in parallel. There is a constant potential drop across all resistors. Ohm's law, I=V/R, can be used to determine the current flowing through each resistor while the voltage is constant across each resistor. For instance, the headlights, radio, and other components of an automobile are linked in parallel so that each subsystem can use the entire voltage of the source and function independently. The wiring in your home or any other structure shares the same

The original circuit is shown in part a with two parallel resistors linked to a voltage source, and the equivalent circuit is shown in part b with one equivalent resistor connected to the voltage source.
