In outer space, where there is no gravity or air resistance, an astronaut pushes on two moon rocks, using 12N of force on each.

One rock has a mass of 2 kg, the other has a mass of 4 kg. Which statements are true? (Mark all true statements)
A. Both rocks will push back at the astronaut with 12 N.
B. Since the astronaut is weightless, he cannot push on the rocks.
C. Since both rocks are weightless, they do not push back on the astronaut.
D. The 4 kg rock pushes back on the astronaut twice as hard as the 2 kg rock.
E. Since both rocks are weightless, they will have the same acceleration.

Answer:

A. Both rocks will push back at the astronaut with 12 N.

Explanation:

According to 3 rd law of Laws of motion of Newton , there is equal and opposite reaction so both the rocks will exert the same force of 12N on the astronaut separately . Acceleration of both of them will not be equal because their masses are different.

It is proposed that a spaceship might be propelled in the solar system by radiation pressure, using a large sail made of foil. W
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

962291.57928 m²

Explanation:

P_r = Pressure = 2\dfrac{I}{c}  (full reflection)

I = Intensity = \dfrac{P}{A}=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P = Power = 3.9\times 10^{26}\ W

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

M = Mass of Sun = 1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

m = Mass of ship = 1500 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Force of radiation is given by

F_r=P_rA\\\Rightarrow F_r=2\dfrac{I}{c}\times A\\\Rightarrow F_r=2\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2c} A

This force will balance the gravitational force as stated in the question

\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=2\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2c} A\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{4\pi cGMm}{2P}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{4\times \pi\times 3\times 10^8\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 1500}{2\times 3.9\times 10^{26}}\\\Rightarrow A=962291.57928\ m^2

The area of the must be 962291.57928 m²

Physics question: show work and circle answer
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

F = 2 [N], choose option (2)

Explanation:

The principle of impulse is defined by the following expression:

Impulse = Force * Time

Force = force acting [N] or [kg*m/s^s]

Time = time during the impulse [s]

Replacing:

Impulse = 10[kg*m/s^2] * 10 [s]

Impulse = 0,1 [kg*m/s]

Now with this impulse, we can find the force for the new time.

F = Impulse/Time

F = 0.1[kg*m/s] / 0.05[s]

F = 2 [N]
