Answer:

There is a force that has the same magnitude as that of the hammer applied on the astronaut and with direction away from the asteroid, movement is given by

                F_hammer - F_Gravitation = m a

Explanation:

For this exercise we will propose its solution from Newton's third law, which states that every action has a reaction of equal magnitude, but felt different.

As it is in space, we must assume that it is not subject to the gravitational attraction of nearby bodies, except the asteroid that attracts it. When he extends his hand and hits the asteroid, he exerts a force on him, by Newton's third law he responds with a force of equal magnitude applied to the astronaut, therefore without the two they are not united they could separate if this force is greater than the force of universal attraction between the two.

In summary There is a force that has the same magnitude as that of the hammer applied on the astronaut and with direction away from the asteroid, movement is given by

                F_hammer - F_Gravitation = m a

4. Solid ‘X’ turns into a liquid at 80 0C and into a gas at 140 0C. Describe the changes in the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Explanation:

The melting point of the solid is 80°C

        Vapor point of the liquid is 140°C

What happens to particles of X when heated from 70°C to 85°C?

  • Firstly, there would be a phase change from solid to liquid.
  • Below the melting point, a substance will exist as a solid.
  • With increase in thermal energy inputted by heat, as the temperature climbs above the melting point, it changes to the liquid.
  • When the solid begins to heat up, the particles of X starts vibrating about their fixed point.
  • At they melting point, they break lose and flow to form a liquid.
  • The particles will have more kinetic energy.

Give reasons:<br>A freely suspended magnet shows<br>N-S poles at rest.​
aniked [119]

Answer:

A freely suspended magnet comes to rest along the N-S direction.

Explanation:

-Irrespective of direction of suspension, the bar eventually comes to rest at earth's N-S direction.

-Bar end that points to Earth's north is called the <em>North Pole</em>. Bar end that point's to earth's south is called the <em>South pole</em>.

-The reason for this default positioning is called the Directive Property. This is because earth acts as an external magnetic field.

A heavy frog and a light frog jump straight up into the air. They push off in such away that they both have the same kinetic ene
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The lighter frog goes higher than the heavier frog.

The lighter frog is moving faster than the heavier frog

Explanation:

If both frogs have the same kinetic energy when they leave the ground, the following equality applies:

K(light) = K(heavy) = \frac{1}{2} *ml*vol^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*mh*voh^{2}

Now, if the only force acting on the frogs is gravity, when they reach to the maximum height, we can apply the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*hmax = vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*(-g)*hmax

When h= hmax, the object comes momentarily to an stop, so vf =0

Solving for hmax:

hmax =\frac{vo^{2} }{2*g}

As the lighter frog, in order to have the same kinetic energy than the heavier one, has a greater initial velocity, it will go higher than the other.

As a consequence of both having the same kinetic energy, the lighter frog will be moving faster than the heavier frog.
