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

Tenemos un Cable de cobre de 1 km de longitud cuya sección es de 2 milímetros al cuadrado y queremos saber la resistencia que se
Nady [450]

Answer:

8.5 Ω

Explanation:

La resistencia de un material es directamente proporcional a su longitud e inversamente proporcional al área de la sección transversal.

La fórmula de la resistencia (R) viene dada por:

R = ρL/A

Donde ρ es la resistividad del material, L es la longitud del material y A es el área de la sección transversal del material.

Dado que:

L = 1 km = 1000 m, A = 2 mm² = 2 * 10⁻⁶ m², ρ (cobre) = 1.7 * 10⁻⁸ Ωm

Sustituyendo da:

R = 1,7 * 10⁻⁸ * 1000/2 * 10⁻⁶

R = 8.5 Ω

Three identical stars of mass M form an equilateral triangle that rotates around the triangle’s center as the stars move in a co
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{L}}

Explanation:

M = Mass of planets

R = Radius of circle

v = Velocity

\theta = Angle

The circle is inside the triangle

cos\theta=\dfrac{\dfrac{L}{2}}{R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{L}{2cos\theta}

The centripetal acceleration

\dfrac{Mv^2}{R}=2\dfrac{GM^2}{L^2}cos\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{Mv^2}{\dfrac{L}{2cos\theta}}=2\dfrac{GM^2}{L^2}cos\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{Mv^22cos\theta}{L}=2\dfrac{GM^2}{L^2}cos\theta\\\Rightarrow v^2=\dfrac{2GM}{L}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{L}}

The speed of the stars is v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{L}}

Answer:

<h3>U_{2}=4U_{1}</h3><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let U1 and U2 be the gravitational potential energy of the first and second stone  respectively.

U1 is given by:

U_1 = (m)gh\\

and U2 is given by:

U_2 = (4m)gh  

therefore, comparing the energies we have:

\frac{U_2}{U_1} = \frac{(4m)gh}{(m)gh}= 4

therefore:

U_2=4U_1

A force is always required to move an object from rest. true false
Marina CMI [18]
The statement is true because an object will remain not moving until an external force is applied into. so in order to move an object external force should be applied. for example an object fell down, even no one pushes it pulls it, but the force due to gravity is acting on it so there is still a force acting on it.
