Explanation:
1st- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
2nd- states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. (most important law)
3rd- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (law of action/reaction)
Answer:
The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.
Explanation:
Answer:
The average speed of the earth in its orbit is 
Explanation:
The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is
.
The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :
(1)
Where r is the radius and T is the period.
In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle
(
) instead of an ellipse.
It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.
Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:
⇒ 
Then, equation 1 can be used:


Answer: Pros and cons okay
Explanation:
Pros: Produces no polluting gases. Waste is radioactive and safe disposal is very difficult and expensive.
Does not contribute to global warming.
Cons: Waste is radioactive and safe disposal is very difficult and expensive.
Local thermal pollution from wastewater affects marine life.
Answer:
Reactance
Explanation:
In an AC circuit, the capacitive reactance of a capacitor is given by:

where
f is the frequency of the AC current
C is the capacitance of the capacitor
The reactance of the capacitor tells somehow the "resistance" of the capacitor to the passage of current through it. In fact:
- When the frequency of the AC current is zero (this means, we are in regime of DC current), the reactance becomes infinite, and this is true because the capacitor does not let the current pass through it)
- When the frequency of the AC current tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero, and this is true because in this case the current changes direction so fast that the capacitor has not enough time to "block" the current, so the current almost no feels the presence of the capacitor.
