Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>  

To understand it better:  

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.  

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.

An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 120 km/h in 8.28 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The value is   a =  4.0 \ m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

  The velocity  is  a =  120 \  km/h =  [tex]\frac{120 *  1000}{3600} =  33.3 \  m/s[/tex]

  The time taken is t  =  8.28 \  s

    The  time taken for contact is  t_c  =  0.815 \  s

     The  velocity of the of the car after contact is v_c =  71.0 \  km/h = [tex]\frac{71 *1000}{3600} =  19.7 2 \  m/s[/tex]

From the equation of kinematics we have that  

       v =  u  + at

Here   u =  0 \ m/s  since the car is initially motionless

=>    33.3 =  0  + a *  8.28

=>    a =  4.0 \ m/s^2

Jenny was applying her makeup when she drove into the student parking lot last Friday morning . Unaware that Cheryl was stopped
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: F = 102141N

Explanation: <em><u>Newton's 2nd Law</u></em> states that a force can change the motion of a body. The relation is given by

F = m.a

whose units are:

[F] = N

[m] = kg

[a] = m/s²

Jenny's car, at the moment of the break, had acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{11}{0.14}

a = 78.57 m/s²

Then, Force is

F = 1300*78.57

F = 102141 N

<u>Jenny's car experienced a force of </u><u>magnitude 102141N.</u>
