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.

When a bat uses echolocation to determine the distance to an insect, it sends out a sound wave and waits to see how long the sou
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled by sound in going to target( insect )  and returning back = 2d ,d is distance of target .

time t = .06 s

speed = distance / time

344.9 = 2d / .06

d = 10.35 m

A rope is shaken and produces 2 waves each second. Calculate the time period of the rope waves.
motikmotik

Answer:

0.5 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

Period of a wave is simply defined as the time taken to make one complete oscillation. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

T = t / n

Whereb

T => is the period

t => is the space time

n => is the number of circle or oscillation.

With the above formula, we can obtain the period of the wave as follow:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

T = t / n

T = 1 / 2

T = 0.5 s

Thus, the period of the wave is 0.5 s

What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str
Oliga [24]

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.

A ray of white light moves through the air and strikes the surface of water in a beaker. The index of refraction of the water is
Naily [24]

Answer:

except ii and iii

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is the angle to the normal the white rays strikes the water surface and it is the incidence angle. Since the white light is moving from less dense medium to a denser medium or a medium with a higher refractive index; the angle of refraction will be less than 30 degrees. Total internal reflection cannot occur because the white light is traveling from a less dense medium to a denser medium.
