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.

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 6.0 kg on Earth?
gregori [183]
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
  • 6 x 9.807
  • = 58.842 N

hope that helps :))

A water pump is a positive displacement-type pump true or false
Kay [80]

Answer: True

A water pump belong to a positive displacement pump that provides constant flow of water at fixed speed, regardless of changes in the counter pressure. The two main types of positive displacement pump are rotary pumps and reciprocating pumps.

Moreover, water pump is a reciprocating positive displacement pump that have an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. In water pumps, the liquid flows into the pumps as the cavity on the suction side expands and then the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses providing water in a pail.

How much heat is absorbed by a 28g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 7oC to 29oC?
prohojiy [21]
From the information given above, 
Mass [M] = 28 g
Change in temperature = 29 - 7 = 22 
Specific heat of iron = 0.449 [This value is constant]
The formula for calculating heat absorbed, Q is
Q = Mass * Specific heat of Iron * change in temperature
Q = 28 * 0.449 * 22 = 276.58 J<span />

As the temperature of an object rises, so does the
nikklg [1K]
C. The object is not in motion, ruling out A. We are not adding mass in any way, nor does adding heat to object increase its mass, therefore also ruling out B. Finally, we are not changing the object's position in such a way that gives it a higher ability to do work, ruling out D.
