Answer:

Explanation:

Work=force×distance

W=F×S

=100 N × 5 m

= 500 Nm

W = 500J

A 50 kg astronaut floating in space throws her 2 kg wrench to the left at 10

Hoochie [10]

The astronaut will move at 0.4 m/s in the opposite direction to the wrench

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the astronaut-wrench system must be conserved before and after the launch.

Before the launch, the total momentum is zero, since the astronaut is at rest:

p = 0 (1)

After the launch, the total momentum is:

$p=mv+MV$ (2)

where :

m = 2 kg is the mass of the wrench

v = 10 m/s is the velocity of the wrench

M = 50 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the recoil velocity of the astronaut

Since momentum is conserved, we can write (1) = (2), and so we can solve for V:

$0=mv+MV\\V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(2)(10)}{50}=-0.4 m/s$

And the negative sign means that the astronaut will move in the opposite direction to the wrench.

The generator at a power plant produces AC at 20,000 V. A transformer steps this up to 355,000 V for transmission over power lin

Masja [62]

Answer:

Number of coil in the output is 39938

Explanation:

We have given a step up transformer

Input voltage of transformer, that is primary voltage $v_p=20000volt$

Output voltage, that is secondary voltage $v_s=355000volt$

Number of turns in primary $N_p=2250$

For transformer we know that $\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}$

$\frac{20000}{355000}=\frac{2250}{N_s}$

$N_s=39937.5$

As the number of turns can not be in fraction so number of turns in the output coil is 39938

The lowest possible frequency that can form in a musical instrument is called the _____. A fundamental frequency B the harmonic

NeX [460]

Perhaps D. if it is the lowebsr possible frequency then it would most likely be the last. I may not be 100 percent right, but that's just an educated guess.

A box of mass 50 kg is pushed hard enough to set it in motion across a flat surface. Then a 99-N pushing force is needed to keep

salantis [7]

The box is kept in motion at constant velocity by a force of F=99 N. Constant velocity means there is no acceleration, so the resultant of the forces acting on the box is zero. Apart from the force F pushing the box, there is only another force acting on it in the horizontal direction: the frictional force $F_f$ which acts in the opposite direction of the motion, so in the opposite direction of F.
Therefore, since the resultant of the two forces must be zero,
$F-F_f=0$
so
$F=F_f$

The frictional force can be rewritten as
$F_f = \mu m g$
where $m=50 kg$ , $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . Re-arranging, we can solve this equation to find $\mu$ , the coefficient of dynamic friction:
$\mu = \frac{F}{mg}= \frac{99 N}{(50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)} =0.20$
