A 143 kg astronaut is floating in

Physics

Dima020 [189]2 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

Korolek [52]

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B.

when the ball drops, the velocity of the ball before the collision is v

After the collision, the velocity of the ball is the same but in the opposite direction.

Impulse delivered to the ball and the floor, in this case, is not zero.

The magnitude of the momentum remains the same but the direction of the ball changes.

Letícia leaves the grocery store and walks 150.0 m to the parking lot. Then, she turns 90° to the right and walks an additional
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

165.529454

Explanation:

According to the Pythagorean Theorem for calculating the lengths of a right angle triangle's sides, a^2 + b+2 = c^2, where c is the longest side (and the side opposing the right angle). So in your case it would be 150*150 + 70*70 = 27400. And √ 27400 is your answer.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation: In DC circuit, the current will flow for a short time, which is required to charge the capacitor. Once you switch it on, it spikes and the gradually decreases to almost zero (0) as the capacitor becomes fully charged.

In an AC circuit, the circuit acts as if the current is flowing throw the plates whereas is not actually flowing. The circuit acts like the AC is flowing through the capacitor.
