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:

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

Before 1960, people believed that the maximum attainable coefficient of static friction for an automobile tire on a roadway was

True [87]

This problem is looking for the minimum value of μs that is necessary to achieve the record time. To solve this problem:

Assuming the front wheels are off the ground for the entire ¼ mile = 402.3 m, the acceleration a = µs·9.8 m/s².

For a constant acceleration, distance = 402.3

m = 1/2at^2 = 804.6 m / (4.43 s)^2 = a = µs·9.8 m/s^2

µs = 804.6 m / (4.43s)^2 / 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.18

Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Explanation:

From Biot Savart's law, the magnetic field formula is given as

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = magnetic field = (1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) T

μ₀ = magnetic constant = (4π × 10⁻⁷) H/m

r = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

(1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) = (4π × 10⁻⁷ × I)/(2π × 0.036)

4π × 10⁻⁷ × I = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵ × 2π × 0.036

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Hope this Helps!!!

A 1.00 kg block of ice, at -25.0°C, is warmed by 35 kJ of energy. What is the final temperature of the ice?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

-8.4°C

Explanation:

From the principle of heat capacity.

The heat sustain by an object is given as;

H = m× c× (T2-T1)

Where H is heat transferred

m is mass of substance

T2-T1 is the temperature change from starting to final temperature T2.

c- is the specific heat capacity of ice .

Note : specific heat capacity is an intrinsic capacity of a substance which is the energy substained on a unit mass of a substance on a unit temperature change.

Hence ; 35= 1× c× ( T2-(-25))

35= c× ( T2+25)

35 =2.108×( T2+25)

( T2+25)= 35/2.108= 16.60°{ approximated to 2 decimal place}

T2= 16.60-25= -8.40°C

C, specific heat capacity of ice is =2.108 kJ/kgK{you can google that}

an audio CD has a diameter of 120 mm and spins at up to 540 rpm. When a CD is spinning at its maximum rate, how much time is req

Andru [333]

Answer:

t = 0.1111 s

Explanation:

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

d = 120 mm (1m / 1000 mm)

d= 0.120 m

w = 540 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60s)

w= 56.55 rad / s

When at maximum speed we can use angular kinematic relationships to find the time for a sperm revolution with zero angular acceleration

W = θ / t

t = θ / w

t = 2π / 56.55

t = 0.1111 s
