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

How would changing the proportions in an alloy change its properties in a 5th grade response plz.
yKpoI14uk [10]
Changing the proportions of substances in an alloy will change the physical properties of that alloy. The differing substances will change the metallic structure of the crystals of the metal alloy, and this alters the ductility, durability, hardness, tensile strength, toughness and other characteristics we assess are regards alloys.

A camcorder has a power rating of 14 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 2 volts, what current does it use?
HACTEHA [7]

Power = (voltage) x (current)

If the camcorder is USING 14 watts of electrical power right now, then . . .

14 watts = (2 volts) x (current)

Divide each side by (2 volts):

Current = (14 watts) / (2 volts)

Current = (14 V-A) / (2 V)

<em>Current = 7 Amperes</em>
