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>

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a. any process during which the entropy of the universe increases will be product
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. Any process in which the entropy of the universe increases will be product-favored

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, the change in entropy of a closed system with time is always positive. That is the entropy of the entire universe, considered as an isolated system, always increases with time, hence the entropy change in the universe will always be positive.

\Delta S_{universe} = \Delta S_{system}  + \Delta S_{surroundings} >0

Therefore, any process in which the entropy of the universe increases will be product favored.

Maximum voltage produced in an AC generator completing 60 cycles in 30 sec is 250V. (a) What is period of armature? (b) How many
Vlada [557]

Answer:

a. 2 Hz b. 0.5 cycles c . 0 V

Explanation:

a. What is period of armature?

Since it takes the armature 30 seconds to complete 60 cycles, and frequency f = number of cycles/ time = 60 cycles/ 30 s = 2 cycles/ s = 2 Hz

b. How many cycles are completed in T/2 sec?

The period, T = 1/f = 1/2 Hz = 0.5 s.

So, it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycles. At t = T/2 = 0.5/2 = 0.25 s,

Since it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycle, then the number of cycles it completes in 0.25 s is 0.25/0.5 = 0.5 cycles.

c. What is the maximum emf produced when the armature completes 180° rotation?

Since the emf E = E₀sinθ and when θ = 180°, sinθ = sin180° = 0

E = E₀ × 0 = 0

E = 0

So, at 180° rotation, the maximum emf produced is 0 V.
