A 143 kg astronaut is floating in

Physics

5 0

The recoil velocity of the astronaut is -0.070 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the astronaut-wrench system must be conserved.

At the beginning, their total momentum is zero:

p=0 (1)

Later, after the astronaut throws the wrench, the total momentum is

p=mv+MV (2)

where

m = 0.725 kg is the mass of the wrench

v = 13.8 m/s is the velocity of the wrench

M = 143 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the recoil velocity of the astronaut

Since momentum is conserved, (1) = (2), and so we can find V:

0=mv+MV\\V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.725)(13.8)}{143}=-0.070 m/s

A) Work energy relation;
 Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
 F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
 F = 900/0.04
    = 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
 F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
             = 22500/(5×10^-3)
             = 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
  0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds

A 12 kg object speeds up from an initial velocity of 10 m:s-1
amid [387]

Momentum = m • v

Original momentum = m • 10 m/s north

Final momentum = m • 15 m/s north

Change = m • (15 - 10) m/s north

Change = m • +5 m/s north

Change = +60 kg-m/s north
