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 car with a mass of 880 kg is moving on the road with constant velocity. The force exerted by engine is 1600N. What is the fric

vovangra [49]

Answer:

1600 N

Explanation:

F-F' = ma.................. Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted by the engine, F' = Frictional Force, m = mass of the car, a = acceleration of the car.

make F' the subject of the equation

F' = F-ma............... Equation 2

Given: F = 1600 N, m = 880 kg, a = 0 m/s (moving with a constant velocity).

Substitite these values into equation 2

F' = 1600+880(0)

F' = 1600 N.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: $36.22\ V$

Explanation:

Given

Energy in a capacitor $E=7.77\times 10^{-7}\ J$

Charge $Q=4.29\times 10^{-8}\ C$

Energy of a capacitor is given by

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2=\dfrac{1}{2}QV\quad [\text{Q=CV}]$

Insert the values

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}QV\\\\\Rightarrow 7.77\times 10^{-7}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.29\times 10^{-8}\times V\\\\\Rightarrow V=3.622\times 10\\\\\Rightarrow V=36.22\ V$

Thus, the voltage around the capacitor is $36.22\ V$

Which statement about thin lenses is correct? In each case, we are considering only a single lens. A. A diverging lens always pr

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

E) true. The image is always virtual and erect

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked to find the correct statements,

for this we can use the constructor equation

1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

In diverging lenses, the focal length is negative and the image is virtual and erect

In convergent lenses, the positive focal length, if the object is farther than the focal length, the image is real and inverted, and if the object is at a shorter distance than the focal length, the image is virtual and straight.

With this analysis let's review each statement

A) False. The image is right

B) False. The type of image depends on where the object is with respect to the focal length

C) False. The real image is always inverted

D) False. The image is always virtual

E) true. The image is always virtual and erect
