A 75 kg astronaut has become detached from their her space ship. To get back to the ship she throws a tool in the opposite direc

tion to the spaceship with a force of 16 N. What is her acceleration during the throw assuming that distances going away from the spaceship are positive?

Answer:

0.21 m/s/s.

Explanation:

Whenever there is an action force acting on a body, there will be a reaction force.

Here the force with which the astronaut throws the tool is given as 16 N.

Force is measured in newtons and is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

Since the astronaut has a mass, she experience a reaction force. It is given by F = ma, according to Newton's 2nd law.

16 = 75 a

⇒ Acceleration = a = F/m = 16/75 = 0.21 m/s/s

Sit in the chair and put your arms out.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

If you're initially rotating with your arms outstretched, then when you draw your arms inward, your moment of inertia decreases. This means that your angular velocity must increase, and you spin faster.

How would the period Of the pendulum different from an equivalent one on earth​
il63 [147K]

Answer:

If you know that that free fall acceleration g on the Moon is about 6 times less than on the Earth, it gives you the answer: on the Moon the same pendulum will have a period about √6≈2.45 longer than on the Earth.

A driver in a 2000 kg Porsche wishes to pass to pass a slow-moving school bus on a four-lane road. What is the average power in
Kryger [21]

The average power is 3.0\cdot 10^6 W

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the work done to accelerate the car; according to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car:

W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2

where :

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the final kinetic energy of the car, with

m = 2000 kg is the mass of the car

v = 60 m/s is the final speed of the car

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 is the initial kinetic energy of the car, with

u = 30 m/s is initial speed of the car

Soolving:

W=\frac{1}{2}(2000)(60)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2000)(30)^2=2.7\cdot 10^6 J

Now we can find the power required for the acceleration, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

t = 9 s is the time elapsed

Solving:

P=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^6}{9}=3.0\cdot 10^6 W

Rain falling vertically will make vertical streaks on a car's side window. However,if the car is moving, the streaks are slanted
Alla [95]

When car is at rest the steaks makes makes vertical lines

which means the rain is falling in vertically downward direction

Now when car is moving with some speed v

Now the steaks makes and an angle 45 degree

So here we can say that relative velocity of rain with car is 45 degree

Now this is the resultant speed of rain in car frame

V_{rc} = V_r - V_c

now if relative velocity makes 45 degree angle so this vector must have same components in vertical and horizontal direction

Since we know that relative velocity is resultant of rain velocity and car velocity so we can say here its two components are rain velocity and car velocity

So these two components must be of same magnitude

as it makes 45 degree

because when two vector are of same magnitude then the resultant vector always makes 45 degree with them if these two vectors are perpendicular to each other

car is moving at same speed as the speed of rain
