Answer:
a. Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.
b. Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Acceleration = 0.500m/s²
a. To find the velocity of the boat after it has traveled 4.75 m
Since it started from rest, initial velocity is equal to 0m/s.
Now, we would use the third equation of motion to find the final velocity.
Where;
- V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
- U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
- a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
- S represents the displacement measured in meters.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Taking the square root, we have;
<em>Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.</em>
b. To find the velocity if the boat has traveled 50 m.
Taking the square root, we have;
<em>Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.</em>
Answer:
a) m = 69.0 kg
b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement
Explanation:
a) Let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
m = F / a
m = 60.0 / 0.870
m = 69.0 kg
b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved
p₀ = p_f
m v = M v '
v ’=
so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.
One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
