Answer:

-0.364m/s

Explanation:

Mass of Astronaut (M₁) = 84kg

mass of gas(m₂) = 35g = 0.035kg

velocity of gas (v₂) = 875m/s

velocity of astronaut (v₁) =

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(84 * 0) + (0.035 * 0) = (84 * v₁) + (0.035 * 875)

0 = 84v₁ + 30.625

84v₁ = -30.625

v₁ = -0.364m/s

Answer:

The velocity of the astronaut is, v = - 0.36 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the astronaut, M = 84 kg

The mass of the gas expelled by the thruster, m = 35 g

                                                                                 = 0.035 g

The velocity of the gas expelled, v = 875 m/s

According to the conservation of momentum,

             MV + mv = 0

                       V = - mv / M           

Substituting the values,

                        V = - 0.035 x 875 / 84

                           = - 0.36 m/s

The negative sign in the velocity indicates the astronaut moves opposite to the direction of velocity of gas.

Hence, the velocity of the astronaut is, v = - 0.36 m/s

Xelga [282]

Answer:

10.028%

Explanation:

\theta = Angle between polarizer

The polarized light after passing through first polarizer

I=\frac{I_0}{2}

The polarized light after passing through second polarizer

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^231.8\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.36115I_0

The polarized light after passing through third polarizer

I_3=I_2cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.36115I_0cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.10028I_0

\frac{I_3}{I_0}\times 100=\frac{0.10028I_0}{I_0}\times 100\\ =10.028\ \%

The percent of the light gets through this combination of filters is 10.028%

Compare the current in the 8-ohm resistors to the current in the 4-ohm resistors.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

a)   i₈ = 0.5 i₄,  b)   i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃,    i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈

Explanation:

For this exercise we use ohm's law

       V = i R

        i = V / R

we assume that the applied voltage is the same in all cases

let's find the current for each resistance

         

R = 4 Ω

         i₄ = V / 4

R = 8 Ω

         i₈ = V / 8

we look for the relationship between these two currents

         i₈ /i₄ = 4/8 = ½

         i₈ = 0.5 i₄

R = 3 Ω

        i₃ = V3

R = 10 Ω

         

        i₁₀ = V / 10

   

we look for relationships

       i₁₀ / 1₃ = 3/10

       i₁₀ = 0.3 i₃

       i₁₀ / 1₈ = 8/10

       i₁₀ = 0.8 i₈

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the
nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

          v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong
