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.

You have 0.5 l of air at a pressure of 203 kpa and -70°c in a rigid, sealed contaainer. what is the absolute tempertaure of the
ANTONII [103]
From the information given and if the question is complete then;
Absolute temperature is the temperature in Kelvin
To convert degree Celsius to kelvin we normally add 273
that is Kelvin = deg Celsius + 273
Thus since we have been given that the air was at -70 degrees celcius;
then; - 70° C  + 273 = 203 K
 Therefore; the absolute temperature is 203 K

You have seen magnets sticking to the refrigerator door, or maybe in your science class room. They attract metal items, for exam
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

B) shrinks

Explanation:

The magnetic force is a force exerted between two magnets, or two magnetic materials, or also on an electric charge moving in a magnetic field.

If we talk about magnetic material, the magnetic field they generates can be represented using a dipole: essentially, they have a north pole (where the lines of the field go out) and a south pole (where the lines of the field go in).

Also, the lines spread apart as we move away from the magnet itself. This means that the strength of the field (and so, the intensity of the force) decreases as we move away from the magnet.

Using this description, we can now understand that when we move the paper clip further from the magnet, the force exerted on the clip decreases, as the magnetic field becomes weaker. So, the correct answer is B.

Observe the given figure and find the the gravitational force between m1 and m2.​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, is approximately 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

The details of the given masses having gravitational attractive force between them are;

m₁ = 20 kg, r₁ = 10 cm = 0.1 m, m₂ = 50 kg, and r₂ = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂ is given by Newton's Law of gravitation as follows;

F =G \cdot \dfrac{m_{1} \cdot m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where;

F = The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

r₂ = 0.1 m + 0.15 m = 0.25 m

Therefore, we have;

F = 6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \ N \cdot m^2/kg \times \dfrac{20 \ kg\times 50 \ kg}{(0.1 \ m+ 0.15 \ m)^{2}} \approx 1.06789 \times 10^{-6} \ N

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂, F ≈ 1.06789 × 10⁻⁶ N

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. The heat capacity of Object A is
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat capacity A = 3 x heat capacity of B

initial temperature of A = 2 x initial temperature of B

TA = 2 TB

Let T be the final temperature of the system

Heat lost by A is equal to the heat gained by B

mass of A x specific heat of A x (TA - T) = mass of B x specific heat of B x ( T - TB)

heat capacity of A x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 x heat capacity of B x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 TA - 3 T = T - TB

6 TB + TB = 4 T

T = 1.75 TB
