Two astronauts of identical mass are connected by a taut cable of negligible mass, as shown in the figure above, and are initial

ly at rest with respect to a nearby space station. Astronaut Y pulls on the cable toward herself with considerable force. Which of the following describes the direction of the velocity of the center of mass of the two astronauts after Astronaut Y pulls on the cable?

Answer:

The right answer is "The center of mass doesn't move".

Explanation:

  • It generates a voltage throughout the cable while the astronaut falls on either the wire. At other ends of the spectrum or cable, the tension will be similar. As such, with both astronauts, there would be the same energy, although throughout the opposite way.
  • Thus, the net force seems to be essentially negative on the machine. And therefore the mass center stays stationary.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

f = 421.8 Hz

Explanation:

When she moved a distance of 1 m from mid point she observe first destructive interference due to two speakers

so we can say that path difference of sound due to two speakers will be equal to half of the wavelength

so path difference is given as

\Delta L = {3.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5} - {1.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5}

so it will be

\Delta L = 12.5 - 12.093

\Delta L = 0.4066

now we know that

\frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.4066

\lambda = 0.813

now frequency of sound is given as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{343}{0.813}

f = 421.8 Hz

ankoles [38]

Answer:

First uncaused cause

Explanation:

Aristotle states that an infinite regression in the principle of causality is not possible. If the regression were infinite, then there would never be a first cause (mover), since this would need another mover to start its motion. Therefore, according to Aristotle, there must be an unmoved mover that moves other things, but is not itself moved by any prior action,

Shaping will happen if _____.
Pavlova-9 [17]
What is being done in shaping is that it directs and guides the change in one's behavior. Therefore, what will happen when one undergoes shaping is that you encourage a lot of minor behaviors which would add up to one large action. The answer to this would be the first option.
