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

Calculate the number of moles in 100g of water​
dsp73

5.55 mol H2O

Explanation:

Water has a molar mass of 18.01528 g/mol. We can then calculate the number of moles of water as

100 g H20 × (1 mol H2O/18.01528 g H20)

= 5.55 mol H2O

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm
