A 143 kg astronaut is floating in

Physics
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]3 years ago
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

Imagine you are mpho:how can you help your friend (phenyo) not to be influenced by media? you really feel she needs some help be
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

One of the ways to help someone not to be influenced by media is:

  • Encourage independent thinking.
  • Let her know that she should make sure the information she is consuming is free from bias and is factual.

<h3>What is Media Influence?</h3>

This refers to the effects and reactions which the mass media has on the people who listen to them by shaping their views and by controlling the narrative.

With this in mind, we can note that if a person is overtly influenced by the media, then such a person lacks independent thinking and becomes emotional by what he watches on the television or reads from an online source.

This can be changed through the encouragement of independent thinking, and the need to check for factual information from the media news and also to focus more on studies.

Banked Curves: A 600-kg car is going around a banked curve with a radius of 110 m at a steady speed of 24.5 m/s. What is the app
Aleks04 [339]

The angle of baking from the calculation is obtained as 30°.

<h3>What is banking?</h3>

The term banking refers to a means of preventing vehicles from skidding off the road at curves.

We know that the banking angle is obtained from;

θ = tan-1(v^2/rg)

v = 24.5 m/s

r = 110 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

θ = tan-1(25^2/9.8 * 110)

θ = tan-1(625 /1078)

θ = 30°

How to find impulse from mass and velocity?
olga nikolaevna [1]
The momentum change =mass*velocity change. But sincevelocity change is not known another strategy must be used to find the momentum change. The strategy involves first finding the impulse (F*t = 1.0 N*s). Since impulse = momentum change, the answer is 1.0 N*s.
