Explanation:

Here we will apply the law of conservation of momentum which is one of the powerful laws of physics. As this law states that the "if no external forces are acting on the system then the net momentum of the system before and after must remain conserved. As the astronaut has a hammer, if he throws it in the direction opposite of his space craft, he will automatically move towards the space craft to conserve the momentum. That's how he can reach the space craft easily by throwing away the hammer.

Answer:

  • One must get rid of any heavy material like the jet pack and other materials other then the space suit. And, then as the amount of mass,m gained by the person decreases we know that there is a net gravitational force,F(G) between the spacecraft and the individual. So, the astronaut will be pulled by the larger in body spacecraft to itself and eventually will be saved due to the force of attraction present between the different celestial entities inside the universe.
  • So if i was one of the astronaut on a spacewalk to fix my spacecraft with a hammer. And lets say my lifeline (tether) breaks and my jet pack on my back is out of fuel. To return safely to my spacecraft (without anyone to help you) i should <u>first get rid of any heavy material other then my space suit and then i would myself will be compelled towards the space craft.</u>

The work input = _____. Fi × di Fi ÷ di Fo × do Fo ÷ do
lesya692 [45]

I believe the work input= Fi × di. Work input is work done on a machine equal to the effort force times the distance through which the force is applied. On the other hand the work output is the work that is done by a machine equals resistance force times the distance through which the force is applied.

Imagine an aluminum cup of 0.30 liter capacity filled with mercury at 14.0 degrees C. How much mercury, if any, will spill out o
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

ΔV=0.00043 L

Explanation:

Given that

V= 0.3 L

T= 14 °C

T'=27°C

Coefficient of volume expansion

\beta _{mercury}=1.8\times 10^{-4}\ C^{-1}

\beta _{Almunium}=0.69\times 10^{-4}\ C^{-1}

\Delta V=(\beta _{mercury}-\beta _{Almunium} )V\Delta T

\Delta V=(1.8\times 10^{-4} - 0.69\times 10^{-4})\times 0.3\times (27-14)

ΔV=0.00043 L

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 2 kg of copper from 20º to 30ºC. The specific heat of copper is 390 J/kgºC.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

7800 J

Explanation:

Heat needed = mass of copper x specific heat of copper x change in temperature  

Change in temperature = 30ºC - 20ºC = 10ºC

Specific heat of copper = 390 J/kgºC

Mass of copper = 2 Kg

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get –  

Heat needed = 2 Kg x 390 J/kgºC x 10ºC

= 7800 J
