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>

A motorcyclist accelerates from rest to 10 mi/hr. what is the change in velocity
gulaghasi [49]

The change in velocity is 10 mi/h (4.47 m/s)

Explanation:

The change in velocity of the motorcyclist is given by

\Delta v = v-u

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem, we have

u = 0 (the motorbike starts from rest)

v = 10 mi/h

Therefore, the change in velocity is

\Delta v = 10 -0 = 10 mi/h

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 m

1 h = 3600 s

We can convert it into m/s:

\Delta v = 10 \frac{mi}{h} \cdot \frac{1609 m/mi}{3600 s/h}=4.47 m/s

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

B

Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

where a = 1.2 km north

and b = 1.6 km east

magnitude = 2 km

Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.

A ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground​
sergey [27]

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}

By substitution we obtain,

16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}

\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}

Diving through by 9.8

\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}

\implies{t}^{2} =3.265

square root both sides, we obtain

\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}

t=1.8s

Higher mass protostars enter the main sequence: at the same rate, but at a higher luminosity and temperature. slower and at a lo
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

<em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

Explanation:

A protostar looks like a star but its core is not yet hot enough for fusion to take place. The luminosity comes exclusively from the heating of the protostar as it contracts. Protostars are usually surrounded by dust, which blocks the light that they emit, so they are difficult to observe in the visible spectrum.

A protostar becomes a main sequence star when its core temperature exceeds 10 million K. This is the temperature needed for hydrogen fusion to operate efficiently.

Stars above about 200 solar masses (Higher mass) generate power so furiously that gravity cannot contain their internal pressure. These stars blow themselves apart and do not exist for long if at all. A protostar with less than 0.08 solar masses never reaches the 10 million K temperature needed for efficient hydrogen fusion. These result in “failed stars” called brown dwarfs which radiate mainly in the infrared and look deep red in color. They are very dim and difficult to detect, but there might be many of them, and in fact they might outnumber other stars in the universe.

That is why higher mass protostars enter the main sequence at a <em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

What's the gravity?
poizon [28]

Answer:

gravity is the force by which a planet or another body draws objects towards its Centre. the force of gravity keeps all of the planets in an orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

what is gravity made of?

gravity are made of proposed gravity parts that are made quantum particles which called gravitational anywhere there is gravitation there is gravity like on Earth in the Solar System most importantly in the minisclue infant and intervention universe .
