GIVEN:
   60 beats per minute
   21 beats per minute
   find x= how fast would an astronaut be flying away
 1            x
-----   *  ------ = (60x = 21)  -------> 60x = 21    ------------>  x= 0.35 
60         21                                  -------   -----
                                                     60      60

The answer is 0.35 seconds which refers to how fast would an astronaut be flying away from the earth if he has a heart rate of 21 beats/min.

Answer:

2.81 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

R₁ = rate of heartbeat on earth = 60 beats/min

T₁ = Time period for 1 beat on earth = 1/R₁ = 1/60 min = 60/60 sec = 1 sec  

R₂ = rate of heartbeat on location of astronaut = 21 beats/min

T₂ = Time period for 1 beat at the location of astronaut = 1/R₂ = 1/21 min = 60/21 sec

v = speed of astronaut

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Using the equation

T₁ = T₂ sqrt(1 - (v/c)²)

1 = (60/21) sqrt(1 - (v/(3 x 10⁸))²)

v = 2.81 x 10⁸ m/s

Two forces are acting on a 2.0 kg object that moves with acceleration 6.0 m/s2 in the positive y-direction. If one of the forces
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

12N

Explanation:

We are given that one of the forces are acting only in the horizontal x-direction. As a force must be applied on an object of mass in order to cause acceleration, the 6.0ms^-2 acceleration is due to the non-horizontal force acting on the 2.0kg object.

Using Newton's Second Law of motion; we know that for a constant mass, force is equal to mass times acceleration, F=ma.

Assuming the other force is acting only in the vertical direction (question doesn't specify, thus we are finding the minimum force to cause this acceleration):

F= 2.0kg * 6.0ms^-2

F=12.0 kgms^-2

F=12 N

What are the conditions under which the resultant of three coplanar forces is zero?<br>​
serg [7]
When three or more coplanar forces are acting at a point and the vector diagram closes, there is no resultant. The forces acting at the point are in equilibrium.

How much force do you push down on the Earth with? (Hint: 1kg is about 2 pounds).​
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: 100lbs

Explanation: The Earth pushes you down at 100lbs, so you push down the earth by 100lbs which is enough to keep you firmly attached to the ground and not allow you to jump more than a couple of feet.

AlekseyPX

At the time of quark confinement, when the universe was 10-6 seconds old, there is found to be one additional proton for every billion antiprotons.

<h3>What is quark confinement?</h3>

Note that  one quark is never found on its own but if particles are said to be smashed together and quarks are found, they are said to be like ends of rubber bands that expands.

Hence, At the time of quark confinement, when the universe was 10-6 seconds old, there is found to be one additional proton for every billion antiprotons.

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.
