A 48.0-kg astronaut is in space, far from any objects that would exert a significant gravitational force on him. He would like t

o move toward his spaceship, but his jet pack is not functioning. He throws a 0.720-kg socket wrench with a velocity of 5.00 m/s in a direction away from the ship. After 0.500 s, he throws a 0.800-kg spanner in the same direction with a speed of 8.00 m/s. After another 9.90 s, he throws a mallet with a speed of 6.00 m/s in the same direction. The mallet has a mass of 1.20 kg. How fast is the astronaut moving after he throws the mallet?(assume all speeds are relative to the spaceship). m/s

Answer:

The astronaut is moving at a speed of 0.36m/s

Explanation:

Speed here corresponds to velocity

The astronaut's mass = 48kg

velocity of astronaut = ?

mass of socket = 0.72kg

velocity of socket = 5m/s

mass of the spanner = 0.8kg

velocity of spanner = 8m/s

change in time = 0.05 -0 = 0.05sec

mass of the mallet = 1.2kg

velocity of mallet = 6m/s

change in time = 9.9 -0 = 9.9sec

To find the astronaut velocity, we would calculate the total momentum which is the astronaut.

∑momentum (M) = ∑astronaut momentum

∑M = ∑astronaut M

∑astronaut M = M of socket + M of spanner + M of mallet

momentum = mass × velocity

(mass × velocity)of astronaut = (0.72×5) + (0.8×8) + (1.2×6)

48 × velocity of astronaut= 3.6 + 6.4 + 7.2

48 × velocity of astronaut= 17.2

velocity of astronaut = 17.2/48

velocity of astronaut = 0.36m/s

The astronaut is moving at a speed of 0.36m/s

An escalator and an elevator can transport a person from one floor to the next. the escalator does it in 15 s and the elevator t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!

The drawing shows 6 point charges arranged in a rectangle. The value of q is 2.83 uC and the distance d is 0.123 m. Find the tot
vova2212 [387]

the total electric potential at location P, which is at the center of the rectangle is 0V.

The charges placed at the corner of the rectangle are same in magnitude but different in charge. hence the total electric potential will be same in  magnitude but different in charge and will be cancelled. Similarly, all the total electric potential will be cancelled and resultant will be zero.

<h3>What is total electric potential?</h3>
  • The amount of labor required to convey a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a given place in an electric field is known as the electric potential (also known as the electric field potential, potential drop, or the electrostatic potential).
  • More specifically, it is the energy per unit charge for a test charge that is negligibly disruptive to the field under discussion. In order to prevent the test charge from gaining kinetic energy or radiating, the travel across the field is also meant to occur with very little acceleration.
  • The electric potential at the reference location is, by definition, zero units. Any point may be used as the reference point, but typically it is earth or a point at infinity.
